Healthgrades Recognizes 373 Hospitals for Outstanding Patient Experience
Healthgrades has announced the recipients of its 2026 Outstanding Patient Experience Award, recognizing 373 hospitals for their exceptional performance in patient care and satisfaction. The evaluation process involved a rigorous assessment of 3,020 hospitals across the United States.
