St. Mary’s Hospital has been recognized as a Best Hospital for 2019-20 by U.S. News & World Report and also was ranked second in the Richmond region and recognized as sixth in Virginia overall.
Parham Doctors’ Hospital earned “High Performing” for knee replacement in recognition of care that was significantly better than the national average, as measured by factors such as patient outcomes. “High Performing” is the highest rating U.S. News awards for these types of care.
St. Mary’s Hospital earned high performing ratings for adult specialties in orthopedics and ratings for common adult procedure and conditions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, colon cancer surgery, heart failure, and hip or knee replacement in recognition of care that was significantly better than the national average, as measured by factors such as patient outcomes.
The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings, now in their fifth year, are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive care for common conditions and elective procedures.
“Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital is honored to receive the second place ranking in the Richmond area and sixth place in Virginia overall by US News & World Report in its best hospitals listings,” said Francine Barr, president of the hospital. “This recognition speaks to the quality, compassionate care the physicians, nurses, and clinical staff provide to our patients day in and day out. This is an honor for all of us.”
For the 2019-20 ratings, U.S. News evaluated more than 4,500 medical centers nationwide in nine procedures and conditions. Less than a third of all hospitals received a high-performing rating. The state and metro area rankings recognize hospitals that received high performing ratings across multiple areas of care.
“Our hospital strives to ensure that we deliver the highest level of orthopedic care for our patients,” said David Donaldson, chief executive officer of Parham Doctors’ Hospital. “I am proud of our team for being a leader in this field and for providing our patients with better outcomes and improved quality of life.”
The U.S. News Procedures & Conditions methodology is based entirely on objective measures of quality such as risk-adjusted outcome rates, volume, quality of nursing, and other care-related indicators. The Procedures & Conditions ratings were produced by U.S. News analysts.
