U.S. News & World Report Names St. Mary’s among Best Hospitals 2024-25

St. Mary’s Hospital has been named by U.S. News & World Report as its 2024-2025 Best Hospitals as a High-Performing Hospital for heart attack, stroke, hip replacement, and knee replacement.

This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings.

The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their healthcare providers in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.

This is the second year in a row that U.S. News & World Report has named St. Mary’s as a High Performing hospital for these four conditions and procedures.

“Patient safety, quality, and experience are our top priorities,” said Stonish Pierce,
President and CEO of Trinity Health Georgia, which includes St. Mary’s Hospital. “Being recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a High Performing Hospital for
two years in a row reflects the tremendous dedication and commitment of our staff
and medical staff to delivering quality care to our patients 24/7/365,” Pierce
continued. “Our patients can have confidence that they are in good hands at St.
Mary’s.”

U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions.

Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled in areas such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care, and patient experience.

To calculate the Best Hospitals rankings, U.S. News evaluated each hospital’s performance on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications, and level of nursing care.

The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
