— SEBRING, Fla – AdventHealth Sebring has been named by U.S. News & World Report to its 2024-2025 Best Hospitals as a High Performing hospital for Heart Attack, Heart Failure, COPD and Kidney Failure. This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings.
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.
“We are honored to receive these distinctions that recognize our team’s exceptional efforts to provide outstanding whole-person care to our community,” said Jason Dunkel, President and CEO of AdventHealth Sebring, AdventHealth Wauchula and AdventHealth Lake Placid. “Achieving a High Performing Ranking by U.S. News requires the highest standard of clinical care and unwavering commitment to patient safety. I believe our clinical leaders and teams are second to none and I’m incredibly thankful to all of them for all the hard work they do, every day.”
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. “A 'Best Hospital' recognition empowers patients to seek out medical care from the best of the best to treat their illness or condition.”
To calculate the Best Hospitals rankings, U.S. News evaluated each hospital’s performance on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care.
The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
This year, among other methodology refinements, U.S. News incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on care provided to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of patients included in its annual data analysis. The Procedures & Conditions ratings are based entirely on objective quality measures.
