MONTROSE, CO – Montrose Regional Health has been named by U.S. News & World Report to its 2024-2025 Best Hospitals list as a High Performing hospital for Heart Attack and Patient Experience. This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings.
“We are deeply honored to be recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a High Performing hospital for Heart Attack and Patient Experience,” said Jeff Mengenhausen, CEO of Montrose Regional Health. “This prestigious distinction reflects the dedication and expertise of our entire team in delivering exceptional care. Our commitment to providing patients with the best possible outcomes and a supportive, compassionate environment is at the core of what we do. This recognition underscores our ongoing efforts to ensure that our patients receive top-notch care, not just within our walls, but also in helping them recover and thrive at home.”
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. Montrose Regional Health was recognized as an excellent hospital to receive treatment for Heart Attack. The hospital ranked highly in patient experience, receiving a 5/5-star rating in categories such as staff responsiveness and hospital room cleanliness. The hospital also ranked particularly high in giving patients time at home, being very successful in enabling patients to safely live at home with minimal time spent in a hospital, ER or nursing home during recovery.
“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 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.
The announcement comes weeks after the Black Canyon Surgical Center was named by U.S. News & World Report among America’s Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers. Montrose Regional Health partners with independent providers in the community to excel and provide excellent care, including a partnership with Black Canyon Surgical Center.
