One of America's Best

Ocala Regional Medical Center and West Marion Community Hospital's superior clinical performance ranks them among America’s 50 Best Hospitals, according to HealthGrades, the nation’s leading independent healthcare ratings company.

The HealthGrades America’s 50 Best Hospitals designation is the only national hospital quality rating based solely on clinical outcomes, recognizing hospitals that have demonstrated superior clinical quality over an eight-year time period.

HealthGrades analyzed tens of millions of Medicare patient records from 1999-2006 to identify this elite group of world class facilities. These hospitals have achieved higher survival rates and lower complication rates, not in just one or two clinical specialties, but across 27 different medical procedures and diagnoses, from cardiac care to orthopedic surgery, consistently ranking among the top five percent in the nation for overall clinical outcomes. 

“Quality patient care is our top priority”, says H. Rex Etheredge, president and CEO, of Ocala Regional Medical Center/West Marion Community Hospital.  “We are proud to be designated as one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals for 2008 by HealthGrades. This recognition from an objective source validates the outstanding quality of care our physicians and staff deliver to our patients year after year.”    Read More >>
