Awards and Recognitions

Middlesex Hospital was named “most wired” again this year by Hospitals & Health Networks, the journal of the American Hospital Association. This is the sixth consecutive year the hospital has received this honor.

The honor is based on an annual most-wired survey designed to measure the level of information technology adoption in U.S. hospitals and health systems. The survey serves as a tool for hospital and health system leadership as they look to improve their information technology strategic plans. It can help hospitals, such as Middlesex, better leverage information technology to improve patient care and efficiency.

Brenda Davenport was the top agent in the Pearce Real Estate Clinton office for the second quarter 2017.
