HCA Florida Northside Hospital celebrated being named one of America’s 250 Best Hospitals for 2024, according to new research released by Healthgrades, the leading resource consumers use to find a hospital or doctor. This achievement puts HCA Florida Northside Hospital in the top 5% of hospitals nationwide for overall clinical performance.
“It is an honor for us to be named one of America’s 250 Best Hospitals for 2024. We are proud of our caregivers and their commitment to exceptional, quality patient care to our community. They earned this honor by demonstrating clinical excellence and providing a safe experience for our patients,” said Valerie Powell-Stafford, CEO of HCA Florida Northside Hospital.
To determine the top hospitals for 2024, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for more than 30 conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide. Unlike other hospital studies, Healthgrades ratings are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. The 2024 Healthgrades analysis revealed significant variation in hospital performance, making it increasingly important to seek care at top-rated programs. From 2020-2022, if all hospitals, as a group, performed similarly to America’s 250 Best Hospitals, on average, 178,402 lives could potentially have been saved.*
“Healthgrades commends HCA Florida Northside Hospital for their leadership and continued dedication to high quality care,” said Brad Bowman, MD, chief medical officer and head of data science at Healthgrades. “As one of America’s 250 Best Hospitals, HCA Florida Northside Hospital is elevating the standard for quality care nationwide and ensuring superior outcomes for the patients in their community.”
