Each year, Lexington Medical Center produces its own Christmas commercial. Shot in the Midlands and featuring hospital employees and their families, the commercials have become a popular tradition and share the hope and joy of the Christmas season.

This year’s commercial will debut on Thanksgiving during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and continue throughout the season during your favorite holiday programming. The theme is “A Baby Changes Everything.” Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the filming this month. Do you recognize any of the locations or people?

You can view all of Lexington Medical Center’s Christmas commercials on LexMedChristmas.com and vote for your favorite. Also, kids of all ages can download a free Christmas activities sheet.

Lexington Medical Center looks forward to sharing the spirit of the Christmas season with you.

Lexington Medical Center’s ambulatory surgery center in Irmo has been named one of the best in the nation for patient experience by Press Ganey, a well-known company in the health care industry that collects patient, employee and physician evaluations on hospitals.

“Achieving this level of excellence reflects Lexington Medical Center’s commitment to delivering outstanding service and quality,” said Susan Horton, director of Guest Services. “The employees at Lexington Medical Center Irmo always strive to provide the most extraordinary care to our patients.”

With scores that consistently rank in the 99th percentile, LMC Irmo received Press Ganey’s Guardian of Excellence award, which honors health care organizations reaching the 95th percentile in patient satisfaction for each reporting period of the year. Fewer than 5 percent of organizations measured by Press Ganey qualify for this award.

“The surgical team in Irmo continues to strive to deliver the best quality care each day. They continue to amaze with their cohesive and collaborative approach and unite to achieve common goals,” said Theresa Falcone, director of Lexington Medical Center Irmo.

Press Ganey partners with more than 1,000 health care facilities across the nation to improve the quality and safety of patient care, to provide a positive and collaborative environment for employees and physicians, and to deliver exceptional patient experiences.
