Providence Southern California Medical Centers Nationally Recognized for Quality – When Los Angeles Area residents, from the San Fernando Valley to the South Bay, choose a hospital, quality should be the No. 1 priority. Five Providence medical centers, including three in the Valley, are rated among the top 5 percent of hospitals across the nation by Healthgrades, a top consumer ratings company.
Providence Southern California earned top state honors earlier this year as the first health system in California to win Healthgrades’ Distinguished Hospitals Award for Clinical Excellence for all five of its hospitals eligible to be considered for this honor.
Providence Holy Cross Medical Center in Mission Hills, Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank and Providence Tarzana medical centers in the San Fernando Valley; Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center Torrance and Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica are among the 262 medical centers in the U.S. recognized as Distinguished Hospitals. Healthgrades estimates that, if all other U.S. hospitals performed at this high level from 2009 through 2011, 164,414 deaths nationwide potentially could have been prevented.
“Providence has been serving Southern California for more than 70 years and continues to build upon our founders’ tradition of excellence and compassion,” said Michael Hunn, senior vice president and regional chief executive, Providence Health & Services, Southern California. “We are so proud to be recognized by Healthgrades for our successes in providing the best quality care for our patients.”
For hospitals to be eligible for this award, they were evaluated in at least 19 of 27 conditions and procedures studied by Healthgrades.
Providence medical centers offer a range of specialties including emergency and urgent care, cardiology, oncology, stroke care, orthopedics, maternity and other services.
According to American Hospital Quality Outcomes 2013: Healthgrades Report to the Nation, released in October, there are significant variations in hospital quality across conditions and procedures, demonstrating that certain hospitals perform better in specific specialties than others. Distinguished Hospital Award recipients are unique, however, because they exhibit high-quality care across a broad range of clinical specialties.
