Hernando County, FL — HCA Florida Oak Hill Hospital has been named one of America’s 250 Best Hospital for 2024, according to new research released by Healthgrades. This achievement puts Oak Hill Hospital in the top 5% of hospitals nationwide for overall clinical performance and is in addition to 28 other specialty accolades from Healthgrades reflecting the Oak Hill Hospital’s commitment to exceptional patient care.

“We are proud of this accomplishment that speaks volumes to the dedication and commitment shared by our colleagues and physicians to providing high quality healthcare,” explained CEO Ken Wicker. “We are continuing to invest in new services like the Level 3 NICU to ensure our community has convenient access to the care residents need.” 

Healthgrades is the leading resource consumers use to find a hospital or doctor.  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.
