SouthCoast Health is proud to announce that it has been recognized with the 2025 Jim Sams Clinical Excellence Award, a prestigious honor presented by the National Value-Based Care & Clinical Programs Council. The award recognizes the top-performing care centers within Privia Health’s national network for their commitment to delivering high-quality, value-based care. SouthCoast Health earned this distinction by achieving an outstanding Bundle Complete Rate across its attributed diabetic population, placing the practice among the top 10% of care centers nationwide.
This recognition highlights the dedication of SouthCoast Health’s physicians, nurses, and staff who work collaboratively to ensure patients receive comprehensive, coordinated care. By focusing on the whole patient, including important preventive screenings such as kidney health evaluations and retinal eye exams, the team helps reduce the risk of serious complications and supports better long-term health outcomes for patients with chronic conditions.
"We are incredibly proud of our clinical teams whose commitment to patient-centered care made this recognition possible," said John Marrero, CEO of SouthCoast Health.
