Sonoma County hospitals recognized by U.S. News & World Report and the American Heart Association for providing award-winning care
U.S. News & World Report recently recognized Providence Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital and Petaluma Valley Hospital with the highest distinction a hospital can earn for cardiac care.
U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings named both hospitals “High Performing” for heart attack care; Santa Rosa Memorial also earned these accolades for heart failure. A high performing rating indicates a hospital was significantly better than the national average in a given procedure or condition.
“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. “The ‘High Performing’ designation acknowledges hospitals that consistently deliver high-quality care for specific medical procedures and conditions. This recognition highlights their expertise and commitment to patient well-being.”
These annual ratings are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive care for in 20 challenging health conditions or elective procedures.
Additionally, both hospitals received the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Get With The Guidelines® - Stroke Gold Plus quality achievement award for their commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines. The hospitals were also listed on the AHA’s Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll for providing quality care for diabetes patients. Healdsburg Hospital received the AHA Get With The Guidelines® - Rural Stroke Silver quality achievement award as well.
“These awards are a testament to our caregivers’ commitment to delivering the highest quality of care to each of our patients,” said Michelle Oxford, chief administrative officer at Petaluma Valley Hospital and Healdsburg Hospital.
“Our hospitals work collaboratively to provide exceptional care and outcomes for our community and all those in need,” added Donovan Taylor MHA, BSN, RN, chief administrative officer at Providence Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.
