LONDON, Ky. (July 16, 2024) – Saint Joseph London has been named a High Performing hospital by U.S. News & World Report, a global authority in hospital rankings and consumer advice. This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings.
Saint Joseph London was named to U.S. News’ 2024-2025 Best Hospitals list as a High Performing hospital for providing high-quality care in the following categories: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, heart attack and pneumonia conditions.
“We are honored to once again be named a ‘High Performing’ hospital by U.S. News & World Report,” said John Yanes, president, Saint Joseph London. “Our caregivers come to work each and every day with a singular focus on providing the highest quality care, delivered with humankindness, to our patients and the community we serve.”
The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their health care providers in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.
U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.
“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.”
To calculate the Best Hospitals rankings, U.S. News evaluated each hospital’s performance on objective criteria such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care. The rankings are based on data from millions of records provided by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This year, U.S. News increased the number of cases reviewed by including data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and patients at outpatient clinics.
