Intuitive Health designed its Centers of Excellence Awards to recognize its dual ER and urgent care centers that patient care ahead of globally recognized benchmarks in customer service, clinical excellence, and quality care. Maintaining their dedication to patients in a value and retail-based healthcare environment, all Intuitive Health partner facilities are setting a new gold standard for what it means to provide and deliver exceptional medical treatment.
As the leading and largest provider of the dual emergency room and urgent care model, Intuitive Health created its National Process Improvement team to handle the qualifications and selection of its inaugural awards to highlight facilities that showed exceptional efforts to administer excellent patient care to its communities. The awards were presented by CEO Thom Herrmann and represent Intuitive Health’s vision to be a healthcare leader by redefining the ER and urgent care experience.
Historically, healthcare has always been centered around the provider, not the patient, leaving significant gaps in how medical care is administered within the fee-for-service model. Instead, with Intuitive Health’s model, patients receive an improved healthcare journey: they’re only billed for the level of care they need rather than by the location they receive care from.
The Intuitive Health difference WOWs patients and focuses on improved operational processes that create loyalty, repeat customers, and site-level profitability. Intuitive Health increases access, offers alternative revenue sources, and grows market share for their partner health systems across the United States. The Center of Excellence Awards exemplifies Intuitive Health’s customer-centric care model and the success of each system dedicated to prioritizing patients, their needs, and their health.
The Center of Excellence Awards spotlights Intuitive Health’s centers in three categories: Centers of Excellence Award, the Intuitive Way Award, and the Up and Comer Award.

Creating a New Healthcare Experience
We do healthcare differently than anything patients have ever experienced. The practice was founded on the idea of creating a new experience for patients. Witnessing the increasing issues within the emergency department environment (increased ER utilization rates, high patient volumes, elevated wait times, etc.). Intuitive Health created its model to ensure patients were given quality care, treated with kindness, and could make the best decisions for their families during their medical care journey.
Each Intuitive Health partner facility is highly trained in customer and patient care and administering exceptional medical attention to individuals needing treatment. When patients walk into an Intuitive Health facility, they’re greeted and examined by ER-trained staff who determines the level of care needed. Intuitive Health’s model guarantees patients never pay for more than is required.
Intuitive Health’s team of attentive professionals all possess a servant leadership mindset. The tremendous benefits have created a community of care and a unique healthcare environment unlike any other. The Center of Excellence Awards by Intuitive Health recognizes the due diligence of its centers and the staff who run them, all of who are incredible individuals who ensure patients are taken care of.
