Memorial Hermann Northeast Hospital employees and physicians were recently honored for their "WOW" factor.
At the Northeast campus, "WOW" stands for "Working On Wonderful" and 132 physicians and employees were recognized during a special ceremony for "WOWing" their patients.
The program is called "iWOWed" and it stands for "i Work On Wonderful every day." The purpose of the program is to recognize staff members and employees for positive customer service based on verbal or written compliments including letters, emails, phone calls or comments from the Hospital's customer service surveys.
