Last month, on Aug. 1, the U.S. News & World Report named Dignity Health – St. Mary Medical Center to its 2023-2024 Best Hospitals as a High Performing Hospital for heart attack and pneumonia. The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to help patients and their doctors to make informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.
Carolyn Caldwell, President and CEO at St.Mary Medical Center expressed gratitude to every member of the hospital’s medical team and their commitment to high quality and compassionate care makes these distinctions possible.
“This achievement underscores the dedication of our physicians, nurses, and staff, and we are proud of their unwavering commitment to improving the health and quality of lives of the people we serve.”
U.S. News & World Report began publishing hospital rankings in 1990, as “America’s Best Hospitals,” to identify the medical centers in various specialties best suited to patients whose illnesses pose unusual challenges because of underlying conditions, procedure difficulty, advanced age or other medical issues that add risk.
The Best Hospitals specialty rankings assess hospital performance in 15 specialties or specialty areas, from Cancer to Urology. In 12 of these, whether and how high a hospital is ranked is determined by an extensive data-driven analysis combining performance measures in three primary dimensions of healthcare: structure, process, and outcomes. In the three other specialties, ranking relies solely on expert opinion.
