CIHQ Congratulates ContinueCARE Hospital at Baptist Health Madisonville & Paducah
on Achieving Accreditation
"We just completed our reaccreditation survey in August 2021 and CIHQ, as always, it was thorough and fair. After every survey and encounter I have with any CIHQ team member I feel I am a better healthcare leader with a clearer understanding of CMS requirements."
