Several HCA Virginia facilities earn Healthgrades 2026 Patient Specialty Excellence Awards
Several HCA Virginia hospitals have received multiple 2025 Specialty Excellence awards from Healthgrades, the leading resource consumers use to find a hospital or doctor. The awards recognize hospitals with superior clinical performance in 16 specialties including heart surgery, critical care and stroke care, among others.
The distinction places Chippenham Hospital, Johnston-Willis Hospital, Henrico Doctors’ Hospital, Parham Doctors’ Hospital, Retreat Doctors’ Hospital, LewisGale Medical Center, and Reston Hospital Center in the top 10 percent of all U.S. hospitals specializing in these areas.
In Virginia, HCA Healthcare hospitals led the rankings for surgical care excellence, with Reston Hospital Center earning the No. 1 spot for delivering superior patient outcomes in surgical care and orthopedic surgery in the commonwealth, with Henrico Doctors’ Hospital in the No. 2 spot in both of those categories.
The 2025 Specialty Excellence recognitions reflect HCA Virginia’s commitment to providing the best care possible and distinguish the hospitals as leading the commonwealth in specialty care. Healthgrades evaluated outcomes at more than 4,500 hospitals across over 30 common procedures and conditions for these awards.
“HCA Virginia is proud to once again be recognized as a national leader in specialty care by Healthgrades,” Jessica Kirby, HCA Healthcare Capital Division vice president of quality. “We strive for excellent patient outcomes and the highest standards of patient care. These recognitions are a direct reflection of the commitment of our care teams who demonstrate every day what it means to raise the bar for specialty care across the Commonwealth.”
“Healthgrades’ specialty awards identify the nation’s top-performing hospitals in key service areas, helping consumers find high quality care tailored to their specific needs,” said Alana Biggers, MD, MPH, medical advisor at Healthgrades. “We’re proud to recognize these HCA Virginia hospitals for consistently superior outcomes in key service areas.”
