CRYSTAL RUN HEALTHCARE NAMED TOP LEADERSHIP TEAM IN HEALTHCARE 2010 WINNER BY HEALTHLEADERS MEDIA

Middletown, NY – July 8, 2010- Crystal Run Healthcare, a multi-specialty group medical practice with 11 locations throughout Orange and Sullivan counties, announced that it has won the 2010 Top Leadership Teams in Healthcare Award for Medical Group Practice from HealthLeaders Media – the leading provider of healthcare business information for senior executives.

The Top Leadership Teams in Healthcare award program, sponsored by GE Healthcare, is now in its seventh year. The program is designed to celebrate the outstanding teamwork that occurs in healthcare organizations each day, to share what makes top leadership teams successful, and to encourage other healthcare leaders to learn more from the best practices of top leadership teams.

“One of the common traits that is obvious with all of the winners in 2010 is their sense of urgency to improve,” says Jim Molpus, Strategic Relationships Director for HealthLeaders Media and chair of the Top Leadership Teams in Healthcare program. “We attribute much of the rush to greatness to the rapidly collapsing and evolving business models in healthcare delivery. The winners in 2010 can truly serve as models for others in healthcare to know that change can come quickly, because it will have to in the future.”

Winners are judged on the team’s overall leadership culture, its ability to overcome challenges, and its ability to demonstrate successes that result from outstanding leadership teamwork. Only one winner per category receives this national honor each year. Crystal Run Healthcare was named the winner in the Medical Group Practices Category for physician-owned, single- or multi-specialty groups employing 25 or more physicians.

“I am pleased to accept this honor and very proud of the accomplishment. Our leadership team works very hard and dedicates itself to continuously improving health care in the communities we serve,” said Hal Teitelbaum, MD, MBA, Managing Partner & CEO of Crystal Run Healthcare.

Recipients of the award will be honored on October 21 in Dallas, TX.
