Kahn’s tenure has been highlighted by expansion of services and technology designed to allow people to get the healthcare they need without having to travel out of the area. Accomplishments include expansion of heart services, including the addition of cardiac electrophysiology; the addition of orthopedics; acquisition of robotics to assist surgeons with the latest procedures, and the opening of Moorman Pavilion and the Blessing Surgery Center. The quality of Blessing’s care has also been recognized numerous times during Kahn’s presidency, including by the Leapfrog Group for patient safety, US News & World Report for High Performing Hospital status in a half-dozen areas of care, and The Commission on Cancer, a quality program of the American College of Surgeons. In addition, Blessing Hospital achieved Magnet recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, the highest national honor awarded for nursing excellence.
“Her leadership during the pandemic was phenomenal,” Koontz added. “Facing a disease no one had dealt with before, Blessing worked in concert with other providers to address the needs of the ill - including adding specialized patient rooms in almost a moment’s notice where none had existed before, creating a drive-thru process for respiratory testing and care that flourishes today as the Blessing Express Clinic, and a free-standing molecular lab that decreased COVID test turnaround times from days to hours. Blessing improved the health of our communities thanks in large part to Maureen Kahn’s calm and thoughtful guidance.”
