Richmond, VA —Seven HCA Virginia Hospitals – Chippenham Hospital, Henrico Doctors’ Hospital, Johnston-Willis Hospital, LewisGale Hospital Montgomery, LewisGale Medical Center, Reston Hospital Center, and Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center– have been named by U.S. News & World Report as a 2024-2025 Best Hospital.
“This recent recognition is a testament to our dedicated physicians, nurses, clinical teams, and colleagues who are committed to the care and improvement of human life,” said Elizabeth Mikula, Vice President of Quality for HCA Healthcare Capital Division. “We deeply value the importance of families having the freedom to choose where they receive medical care. We are honored to be their choice for healthcare and grateful to be recognized for the exceptional care that our hospitals provide.”
U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions; only 11% of evaluated hospitals earned a Best Hospitals ranking. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.
“For 35 years, U.S. News has been a leading resource for patients navigating their health care decisions,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “A 'Best Hospital' recognition empowers patients to seek out medical care from the best of the best to treat their illness or condition.”
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 measure patient outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This year, among other methodology refinements, U.S. News incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on care provided to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of patients included in its annual data analysis.
