Logansport Memorial Hospital was recognized by the Indiana Hospital Association (IHA), in partnership with State Health Commissioner Lindsay Weaver, M.D., FACEP, for its commitment to infant and maternal health at the fifth annual Inspire Hospital of Distinction recognition program.
INspire, funded by the Indiana Department of Health’s Safety PIN grant, was developed to implement the delivery of best practice care for Hoosier moms and babies and recognize hospitals for excellence in addressing key drivers of infant and maternal health.
Logansport Memorial Hospital earned an INspire recognition based on implementing best practices in key
areas, including infant safe sleep, breastfeeding, perinatal substance abuse, social drivers of health, obstetric hemorrhage, and maternal hypertension.
“At Logansport Memorial Hospital, we are deeply committed to providing the highest quality care for mothers and infants in our community,” said Emilee Albright, VP Patient Services/Chief Nursing Officer at Logansport Memorial Hospital. “Receiving this recognition reflects the dedication of our team in implementing best practices that promote safe and healthy outcomes for Hoosier families.”
“The Indiana Department of Health remains focused on working with healthcare providers to improve outcomes for Hoosier moms and babies,” said State Health Commissioner Lindsay Weaver, M.D., FACEP. “We are grateful to have hospitals across the state support initiatives, such as the Indiana Perinatal Levels of Care and obstetrical emergencies training, that have contributed to improvements in both maternal and infant health.”
For the first time in the program’s history, 100% of Indiana’s birthing facilities earned one of two INspire
recognitions, reinforcing the progress that has been made to improve upon the key drivers of maternal and infant health.
“Indiana hospitals are grateful for the leadership of Dr. Weaver and her team for their continued partnership to address the critical issue of infant and maternal mortality,” said IHA President Scott B. Tittle. “We are proud to celebrate the Hoosier facilities that have successfully demonstrated these best practices and how far our state has come in the five years since the launch of INspire. Together, we are truly making a difference.”
Indiana Hospital Association serves as the professional trade association for more than 170 acute care, critical access, behavioral health, and other specialized hospitals in Indiana.
