If all hospitals performed as the best, more than 173,000 lives would be saved
Several Southwest Florida hospitals made a list of the best 50 hospitals in the U.S. from Healthgrades, a leading rating organization.
In Lee County, three Lee Health hospitals earned the distinction. They are Cape Coral Hospital, Lee Memoria Hospital, and HealthPark Medical Center. Gulf Coast Medical Center made the top 100 hospitals nationally.
In neighboring Collier County, NCH’s two campuses, Baker Hospital and North Hospital, made the top 50 list.
Healthgrades evaluates risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for more than 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at roughly 4,500 hospitals nationwide.
Earning the recognition of being among the 50 best hospitals means they are part of the top 1% nationally.
Medicare medical claims are used for the analysis for the most recent three-year period available. No hospital can opt-in or opt-out, nor can they submit their own data for overall care excellence.
