MURRIETA, CA — Southwest Healthcare System has passed the CMS Certification Survey recently concluded pursuant to the System Improvement Agreement which Southwest had entered into with CMS and CDPH last year. As a result, the termination notice which had previously been sent by CMS has been rescinded and Southwest has been restored to our deemed status. This outcome was the result of the dedication, devotion and hard work of the employees, medical staff, volunteers and leadership at Southwest. We are also very appreciative of the cooperation and collaboration of the dedicated professionals at CMS and CDPH. Their willingness to work with Southwest during this process was a major factor in our success and we are pleased that their confidence in Southwest was validated. We appreciate the tremendous support we received from our local officials during this difficult period and wish to express our gratitude.
This result is not the end but the beginning. The employees and medical staff at Southwest Healthcare have always been fully committed to ensuring that the highest quality healthcare is being provided to our patients and this community. We will not rest on our accomplishments to date but remain steadfast in our commitment to maintain and enhance the quality of care we provide which our patients expect, their families demand and that this community deserves. Southwest looks forward to our continued role as the leader of healthcare services for Southwest Riverside County.
