Psychiatric Solutions, Inc.‘s Fremont Hospital Receives MAP 2009 Presidential Award for Sustained Success

FREMONT, Calif.—(April 13, 2010)—Despite the U.S. battling what many call the worst economic period since the Great Depression, Fremont Hospital has managed to continue a high level of success by following the Management Action Programs’ (MAP) Vital Resources strategy. For its commitment to the strategy and resulting sustained growth, Fremont received a MAP 2009 Presidential Award.

Fremont, a Psychiatric Solutions, Inc. (PSI) full-service behavioral health facility, has been following the MAP Management System’s method that focuses on goal alignment, accountability and execution. By setting attainable, company-wide goals in line with the MAP Vital Resources principles—and proactively and strategically staying on-course—Fremont was able to give itself a competitive advantage in this tough economic climate.

MAP works with organizations and entrepreneurs across the U.S. to create sustainable results through its programs teaching management methods incorporating its trademark Vital Factors approach. The MAP Management System hinges on four fundamental concepts: effective decision making, communication, accountability and problem solving.

According to MAP, Fremont met award criteria, including implementing the MAP methods company-wide, significantly improving the company’s elements that lead to sustained growth, profitability and continued success, establishing clear directions through effective leadership, reinforcing company values through both management and employees, and demonstrating overall hard work from members at every level in the company.

“I think this award serves as recognition for both the employees at Fremont Hospital and the principles taught through the Management Action Programs,” said Sidney Ono, chief executive officer at Fremont Hospital. “Everyone at Fremont—from our upper management to our staff members—has embraced the MAP principles, and it is evident by our consistently strong work ethic and commitment to this organization during times of economic stress that when Fremont Hospital succeeds, the entire community benefits.”
