Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center Achieves Healthgrades 2022 Labor and Delivery Excellence Award™
Denver, CO, August 08, 2022 --(PR.com)-- Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center (P/SL) today announced that it has been recognized by Healthgrades as a 2022 Labor and Delivery Excellence Award™ recipient. This distinction places P/SL among the top 10% of hospitals evaluated for overall labor and delivery care by Healthgrades, the leading marketplace connecting doctors and patients.
Additionally, P/SL earned Healthgrades’ 2022 5-Star award for Vaginal Delivery for the fourth consecutive year and C-Section Delivery for the third year.
"P/SL not only offers the highest level of care for moms and babies in the entire region, but is recognized nationally for the exceptional care and service we provide our patients. This award is made possible because of our dedicated labor and delivery team and their unwavering commitment to our patients and families,” said Maureen Tarrant, President and CEO of P/SL and Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children.
Healthgrades analyzed labor and delivery patient outcomes data for all patients from 16 individual states from 2018-2020. During this time, if all hospitals included in this analysis, as a group, performed similarly to hospitals receiving the Labor and Delivery Excellence Award, on average, 135,637 patients could have avoided complications.*
Additionally, from 2018-2020, patients treated in hospitals receiving the Labor and Delivery Excellence Award, have, on average, a 41.2% lower risk of experiencing a complication while in the hospital than if they were treated in hospitals that did not receive the Labor and Delivery Excellence Award.
“Through our 2022 Obstetrics & Gynecology Awards, we seek to recognize facilities who excel in delivering superior care for Ob-Gyn patients,” said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer and head of Data Science, Healthgrades. “We are proud to name P/SL as a 2022 Labor and Delivery Excellence Award recipient and look forward to their continued efforts to make maternal care a priority.”
