Safety Awards are presented annually to Palmetto Hospital Trust members with the lowest loss ratios in each of seven peer groups.  PHT Transitional Duty Awards recognize members with the best/highest ratio of transitional duty to lost work days, a measure of the effectiveness of the hospital’s return to work program.  LRADAC was a winner of both awards in the category of Disabilities & Special Needs Organizations. LRADAC’s Director of Operations, Kevin Grindstaff, stated, “We are committed to excellence in risk management and the general health and safety of our employees and clients in our facilities.”[vc_single_image image=”833″ alignment=”right” border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”large” img_link_large=”yes”]
