Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center has been selected for the 2013 California Excellence Award amongst all its peers and competitors by the Small Business Institute for Excellence in Commerce (SBIEC). Sierra Vista was recognized as having enhanced the commitment and contribution of small businesses through service to its patients and community.
Each year the SBIEC conducts business surveys and industry research to identify companies that have achieved demonstrable success in their local business environment and industry category. Particular emphasis is given to meeting and exceeding industry benchmarks for customer service, product quality and ethical practices. Industry leading standards and practices have been developed and implementation of the same has been pioneered by the dedicated efforts of the business community and commerce leadership.
“Sierra Vista has consistently demonstrated a high regard for upholding business ethics and community values,” said Candy Markwith, Sierra Vista’s chief executive officer. “This recognition by SBIEC is validation of our corporate leadership and service both at Sierra Vista and in the community.”
As part of the industry research and business surveys, various sources of information were gathered and analyzed by SBIEC to choose the selected companies in each category. This research is part of an exhaustive process that encapsulates a year-long immersion in the business climate of California.
