Virginia Mason Medical Center Recognized on Newsweek America’s Best Specialized Hospital List
August 23, 2024
The hospital receives accolades for cancer, cardiac, neurological, and orthopedic care
Virginia Mason Medical Center has been recognized on Newsweek’s inaugural list of America’s Best Specialized Hospitals 2024 in several categories including cancer, cardiac, neurological, and orthopedic care. This prestigious award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.
“We are deeply honored that Newsweek has recognized the talented care teams at Virginia Mason Medical Center among America’s Best Specialized Hospitals,” said Ketul J. Patel, chief executive officer of Virginia Mason Franciscan Health and president of CommonSpirit Health’s Northwest Region. “Our patients count on us to provide exceptional care every time they walk through our doors, and this recognition of our specialty services is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our teams.”
The America's Best Specialized Hospitals 2024 ranking awards the 200 leading cancer hospitals, 175 leading cardiac hospitals, 175 neurological hospitals, and the 175 leading orthopedic hospitals in the U.S., as well as highlighting notable treatments. The underlying data analysis is based on four data sources:
- Nationwide Online Survey: Health care professionals and hospital managers with knowledge about the respective medical field were asked to recommend the leading specialized hospitals in the U.S. The survey was also promoted on newsweek.com.
- Hospital Quality Metrics: Hospital quality metrics with a focus on indicators relevant to specified care were considered.
- Results from Patient Experience Surveys: Survey of patient experience during hospitalization.
- Statista Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMS) Implementation Survey: Voluntary PROMS implementation survey to determine the status quo of PROMs implementation, audits, and reporting of data.
Virginia Mason Medical Center is a part of Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, and is one of 10 hospitals and medical centers located in the Puget Sound Region. The Virginia Mason Franciscan Health Rehabilitation Hospital (Tacoma) was also recognized by Newsweek this year in its 2024 "America's Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers" ranking.
