NORWAY — James Eshleman, DO, and Adam M. Kazimierczak, DO, of Oxford Hills
Family Practice have earned a three-year
recognition, beginning Nov. 13, 2009, from the National Committee for
Quality Assurance through the Heart/Stroke Physician Recognition
Program.

The announcement was made by Timothy A. Churchill, president and chief executive officer of Western Maine Health, parent of Stephens Memorial Hospsital where the doctors are on staff.

The recognition also means a blue ribbon status with the Maine Health Management Coalition, allowing Oxford Hills Family Practice to achieve preferred provider status with many insurers. The HSRP assesses quality measures from the American College of Cardiovascular guidelines and measures quality on factors such as cholesterol management, blood pressure control, lipid profiles, use of aspirin and smoking status or smoking cessation advice.

The HSRP was developed and launched in 2003 through a partnership between NCQA and the American Heart Association.

Stephens Memorial Hospital is part of the Maine Health® family.
