“Our hospitals continually strive to take patient care to a higher level,” Mary Boosalis, Premier Health’s president and chief executive, said in the company’s statement. “This recognition from U.S. News and World Report demonstrates why we’re so proud of – and confident in – our physicians, nurses, other health care professionals, and all who support their work. We congratulate them and thank them for their dedication.”
Kettering Medical Center, a Kettering Health Network hospital, was ranked “high-performing” in four areas — orthopedics, colon cancer surgery, along with hip and knee replacement — and was ranked No. 18 overall in Ohio.
(The report ranked both Kettering Medical Center and Good Samaritan at 18 in Ohio.)
Sycamore Medical Center, also a KHN facility, was ranked high-performing in knee replacements.
“What an honor for U.S. News & World Report to once again recognize Kettering Medical Center for our quality care,” Jarrod McNaughton, president of Kettering Medical Center, said in that health system’s own statement. “This ranking reflects our success in focusing on doing what is best for our patients in a caring environment that promotes healing.”
Grandview Medical Center in Dayton, part of the Kettering Health Network, was also ranked “high-performing,” in hip replacements, the magazine said.
The magazine evaluated more than 4,500 hospitals nationwide in 25 specialties, procedures and conditions. In the 16 specialty areas, 146 hospitals were ranked in at least one specialty.
