MOUNT STERLING, Ky. (Nov. 21, 2024) – Saint Joseph Mount Sterling has achieved a Five-Star rating for Treatment of Gastrointestinal (GI) Bleed, according to new research from Healthgrades, a leading resource consumers use when searching for a doctor or hospital.
This Five-Star rating reflects Saint Joseph Mount Sterling’s commitment to consistently deliver the best care available. It also places the organization in the upper echelon of hospitals for specialty care nationwide and reflects the organization’s commitment to delivering exceptional care year after year.
“This recognition from Healthgrades reflects the exceptional dedication and expertise of our team,” said John Yanes, president, Saint Joseph Mount Sterling. “Achieving this Five-Star rating highlights our commitment to ensuring every patient receives the highest quality care, especially during critical health challenges like GI bleeding.”
Saint Joseph Mount Sterling’s achievement is based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. As part of its 2025 hospital assessment, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for over 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide to determine the top performers in specialty care.
As variation in performance among hospitals continues to grow, it is increasingly important for consumers to seek care at top-rated programs. Healthgrades’ 2025 analysis revealed that if all hospitals as a group performed similarly to five-star hospitals during the 2021-2023 study period, on average, 224,958 lives could potentially have been saved and 141,692 complications could potentially have been avoided.*
“Healthgrades commends Saint Joseph Mount Sterling for their clear commitment to delivering consistently superior patient outcomes in critical service areas, including gastrointestinal bleed,” said Brad Bowman, MD, chief medical officer and head of data science at Healthgrades. “Saint Joseph Mount Sterling’s leadership, expertise, and unwavering dedication to clinical excellence set a high mark for specialty care in Kentucky and nationwide.”
