Swedish Named Among Top 1% in the Nation for Surgical Care and in the Top 2% for Critical Care, Stroke Care and Other Best Specialties
Englewood, CO, November 12, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Swedish Medical Center announced it is one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals for Surgical Care and among the nation’s 100 Best Hospitals for Cardiac Care, Critical Care, Stroke Care, Orthopedic Surgery, Spine Surgery, Gastrointestinal Care, Gastrointestinal Surgery and Prostate Surgeries, according to new research released by Healthgrades, the leading resource consumers use to find a hospital or doctor.
Healthgrades identified the 100 Best hospitals for 16 of the most common specialty care areas– recipient hospitals represent the Top 2% of hospitals for each specialty. This distinction, along with numerous other accolades from Healthgrades, including being named a Five-Star Recipient for Treatment of Heart Failure (13 years in a row), Five-Star Recipient for Treatment of Stroke (5 years in a row) and a recipient of Healthgrade’s Critical Care Excellence Award™ (5 Years in a row) reflects Swedish’s outstanding clinical performance and distinguishes it as one of the country’s leading hospitals.
“Our outstanding providers and care teams are committed to the care and improvement of human life. That’s in our DNA. To be recognized at such a high level like this, especially for a trend of excellence over many years, it speaks to our colleagues’ dedication to providing best outcomes and advancing the field of medicine,” said Jaya Kumar, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Swedish Medical Center.
Healthgrades evaluates hospitals solely on clinical outcomes: risk-adjusted mortality and complications. By focusing on what matters most, patient outcomes, the Healthgrades ratings provide critical feedback for both patients and hospitals.
“Healthgrades congratulates Swedish Medical Center for being a national leader and demonstrating a deep commitment to providing high quality care to all patients,” said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Data Science at Healthgrades. “As health systems nationwide endeavor to elevate the quality of care, these elite facilities provide a roadmap for success. We commend Swedish for its dedication to excellence in patient care.”
