“Our hospitals are committed to providing high quality care and exceptional outcomes to all we serve,” said Hoyt Burdick, M.D., chief medical officer, MHN. “These recognitions confirm that commitment, and I congratulate all of the physicians and staff in these areas for their hard work.”

These achievements are part of findings releases in the Healthgrades 2024 Report to the Nation. The new report demonstrates how clinical performance continues to differ dramatically among hospitals and the impact it may have on health outcomes.

“Consumers can feel confident that hospitals receiving these recognitions have demonstrated their commitment to quality care and exceptional outcomes,” said Brad Bowman, M.D., chief medical officer and head of data science at Healthgrades. “The recognition helps provide peace of mind when selecting a place for care.”
