The Armenian American Wellness Center Wins the Prestigious "Public
Confidence Award" for Excellence in Women's Health
Negar M. Joy
WASHINGTON D.C. The Armenian American Wellness Center became the first
recipient of the 2012 Public Confidence Award for Excellence in Women's
Health, presented by the National Council of Public Confidence in Medical
Services. The event took place at the Aram Khachadouryan Symphony Hall. Mrs.
Khachanush Hakobyan, the Executive Director, accepted the award on behalf of
the Wellness Center in front of a packed hall of 2000 spectators and TV
cameras, broadcasting nationwide. The Wellness Center was recognized for its
high standards of quality care and innovative approaches using latest
Western technology and expertise in delivering women's health services to
the people of Armenia.
This award, established two years ago, presents public's choice for
excellence in medicine, ophthalmology, dentistry and public health. This is
the first year that women's health was also considered and the award went to
the Wellness Center. Dr. Ara Bablobyan, Chairman of the Parliament's
Subcommittee on Health Issues presented the award to Mrs. Hakobyan.
The recipients of the awards were chosen based on interviews and surveys
conducted by the Council among the public and through questionnaires
distributed at work places, public libraries, community centers and schools.
"The women of Armenia have been putting their trust in us every single day
for the past 15 years," said Mrs. Hakobyan during her award acceptance
speech. Daily 100-125 patients receive services from one or more of the
Wellness Center's eight departments.
Since its establishment in 1997, the Wellness Center has dedicated itself to
preventive health and early and accurate detection of cancer through the
latest western technology and expertise to SAVE LIVES.
However, the Wellness Center's state-of-the-art facility is not just the
premier facility for Armenian women and families to receive the best
possible health care. It has also become the most desired work place for
the country's medical professionals. Its corruption-free environment that
promotes transparency and accountability, access to the latest Western
technology and equipment, and the opportunity to receive regular specialized
training has attracted some of the country's best and brightest
professionals to join the Wellness Center staff.
Armenian American Cultural Association (AACA), the founding organization and
the main US sponsor of the Wellness Center, strives to provide the Wellness
Center's medical and administrative staff with the best available equipment,
latest technological advances and many opportunities for professional
exchanges between Armenia and the Western world. AACA regularly arranges
for the staff to receive continued medical and administrative training in
the latest Western approaches both on site in Armenia and in the US and in
Europe. For guidance in this area, AACA draws upon the expertise of its US
Medical Advisory Board comprising of 14 volunteer health care professionals
and leading consultants working at the most prestigious medical institutions
and companies in the US and around the world. This has played an important
role in building the foundation for the Wellness Center's success in patient
care.
"We are very grateful to our Medical Advisory Board, the individual doctors,
nurses, engineers, business men and women who have chosen helping Armenia a
priority during their on and off hours," said Rita Balian, President and CEO
of AACA and Founder of the Wellness Center. "We are also indebted to the
institutions with which these dedicated volunteers are associated, which
have joined the humanitarian effort to make Armenia a healthier and more
health-conscious nation," continues Mrs. Balian who herself has volunteered
16 hours of her days each and every day for 15 years for the life saving
work of the Center.
Receiving the Public Confidence Award crystallizes the role of the Wellness
Center in revolutionizing the health care delivery system in Armenia. "There
is no better recognition than the one coming from those who are being
served," said Ms. Hranush Hakobyan, Co-Founder of the Wellness Center, now
also the Minister of Diaspora in Armenia.
