MAHASKA COUNTY – Mahaska Health Partnership has named Family Practice Physician Stephen Mineart, MD, the 2014 MHP MVP (Most Valuable Provider).
Each year, members of the Provider Satisfaction Team help select the MVP Provider Award recipient based on several factors, including patient care, employee relations, leadership and hospital engagement. MHP CEO Jay Christensen said we are fortunate this year, as in previous years, to have had many outstanding providers nominated and eligible for the award.
“The strength of our medical staff is a source of great pride,” Christensen stressed. “Dr. Mineart was chosen this year for his leadership and willingness to be a resource for his peers. He always puts the best interest of his patients first and is willing to go the extra mile to work in patients that need to be seen.
“He is engaged in both the Medical Group and the hospital, participating in multiple work teams, including one to develop an afternoon and evening walk-In clinic at MHP. He is also a Senior Aviation Medical Examiner who provides FAA flight physicals and serves as Medical Director for Cardiopulmonary Services.”
According to Christensen, Dr. Mineart was instrumental in the integration of Family Medical Center to the health system last year, and continues to do all he can to create a stronger healthcare system in Mahaska County. Dr. Mineart is also a “super user” on the electronic medical record and continues to be a driving force in making that process work more efficiently.
A few of the many patient comments received include: “I would recommend Dr. Mineart to anyone.” “Dr. Mineart kept us calm and helped reassure us when we voiced concerns.” “My family has been long-time patients of Dr. Mineart. We are always treated with care and respect. We would highly recommend him. He is a fantastic asset to MHP and Oskaloosa!” “Dr. Mineart has been my doctor for over 25 years. I feel very comfortable with him and appreciate all he does for me and my family.” “Dr. Mineart is very good at listening and allowing me to make suggestions that are pro-active for me. We have a very good doctor-patient relationship. I feel I can tell him anything.”
Christensen said the MHP Medical Staff have a common goal of creating a stronger healthcare system in Mahaska County. “Our medical staff is active in many areas of the health system and provide great guidance. They continually collaborate to ensure a strong relationship to meet all of your family’s primary healthcare needs locally. We count ourselves blessed to have each of them as part of the MHP family.”
