Early on in my first Baldrige journey, learning the process took time and attention. Putting on paper our organization’s commitments, priorities, progress, and challenges is something that doesn’t always come naturally as operators. At the same time, my hospital was going through a $55 million bonding process – and the people who wanted to know we were a good investment financially were asking the same questions that I was answering for the Baldrige Organizational Profile. As we developed throughout our journey to the Governor’s Award, I saw how we improved through self-examination and the objective view of the Examiners who volunteered their time. Now I have a more clear vision of how to help my organization succeed, which means improved health and lives of the community my Hospital serves. That’s why I do this work, and that’s why I continue to pursue a Baldrige journey now!
