HCA HealthONE Swedish Named One of America’s 100 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades for Second Consecutive Year
Englewood, CO, January 28, 2025 --(PR.com)-- HCA HealthONE Swedish announced today it is one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for 2025, according to new research released by Healthgrades, the #1 site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital. This achievement reflects HCA HealthONE Swedish’s unwavering commitment to exceptional patient care and puts the organization in the top 2% of hospitals nationwide for overall clinical performance for a second year in a row.
In addition to this recognition for overall clinical care, HCA HealthONE Swedish was the recipient of 46 Clinical Achievements related to its outstanding performance in key service areas, including Treatment of Heart Failure (14 years in a row, 2012-2025), Treatment of Stroke (6 years in a row, 2020-2025) and Hip Fracture Treatment (4 years in a row, 2022-2025). In Colorado, Healthgrades ranked HCA HealthONE Swedish as having the #1 program for Cardiac Care, Surgical Care and Gastrointestinal Care. These achievements further underscore the organization’s dedication to clinical excellence, placing HCA HealthONE Swedish among the upper tier of hospitals nationwide.
“Like our colleagues across the greater HCA Healthcare network, above all else, we are committed to the care and improvement of human life, and we are committed to proving that care at the highest standards of excellence, quality and safety,” said Dr. Mary Laird Warner, chief medical officer of HCA HealthONE Swedish. “To be recognized as one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals out of thousands is a great honor, and underscores the expertise, compassion and dedication our hospital family providers to our patients and their families.”
HCA HealthONE Swedish’s achievements are based exclusively on what matters most: patient outcomes. To determine the top hospitals for 2025, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for over 30 conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide. Healthgrades’ annual analysis revealed significant performance gaps between the nation’s highest- and lowest-achieving hospitals, making it increasingly important to seek care at a top-rated facility. In fact, from 2021-2023, patients treated at one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals had a 28.1% lower risk of dying than if they were treated at hospitals that did not receive the award.*
As care variation grows, consumers must find and select a top-rated hospital to maximize their chances of a successful outcome.
