Ridgeview named among top 5% in nation for patient experience

Healthgrades 2024 Outstanding Patient Experience Award™ Recipient

Ridgeview announced that it has been recognized as a 2024 Outstanding Patient Experience Award™ recipient by Healthgrades, the leading resource consumers use to find a hospital or doctor. This distinction places Ridgeview among the top 5% of hospitals nationwide for patient experience, according to Healthgrades, the leading marketplace that connects people with the right doctor and hospital.

“To be recognized once again as one of the nation’s top performers for patient satisfaction is extremely rewarding and confirms our promise that ‘You Matter Here’,” said Mike Phelps, president and CEO, Ridgeview. “Patients continue to tell us that the Ridgeview experience is remarkably different from what they encounter elsewhere. They choose Ridgeview for the high quality of care they receive, and for the kindness, compassion and intuition that are the cultural foundation for everything we do.”

For this annual analysis, Healthgrades evaluated more than 2,500 hospitals that submitted at least 100 patient experience surveys to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), covering admissions from January 2022 to December 2022. Of those hospitals evaluated, Ridgeview outperformed its peers ― based on feedback from their own patients ― to achieve this award.

“We commend Ridgeview for going above and beyond to provide a best-in-class care experience for patients during their hospital stay,” said Brad Bowman, MD, chief medical officer and head of data sciences at Healthgrades. “Ridgeview’s dedication to superior patient care is particularly impressive given recent declines in patient satisfaction scores across the country. We look forward to their continued leadership and commitment to ensuring the health and wellness of all patients.”
