This achievement puts Regional Medical Center in the top 5% of hospitals nationwide for overall clinical performance across the most common conditions and procedures. This is the 2nd consecutive year Regional Medical Center is among America’s Best.
Regional Medical Center also received America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Critical Care Award™ for 2023 for the 2nd consecutive year. The award recognizes hospitals with superior clinical outcomes in treating pulmonary embolism, respiratory system failure, sepsis, and diabetic emergencies. Regional Medical Center was also recognized with America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Stroke Care Award™ for 2023 which recognizes a hospital with superior clinical outcomes in the care and treatment of stroke.

Healthgrades evaluated patient mortality and complication rates for 31 of the most common conditions and procedures at nearly 4,500 hospitals across the country to identify the top-performing hospitals. This year’s analysis revealed significant variation between America’s Best 250 Hospitals and hospitals that did not receive the distinction. In fact, if all hospitals performed similarly to America’s 250 Best, over 160,000 lives could have been saved. According to Healthgrades, patients treated at one of the
2023 America’s 250 Best Hospitals have, on average, a 28.7% lower risk of dying than if they were treated at a hospital that did not receive the America’s 250 Best Hospitals award.
