Holzer Cardiology Among the Nation's Best 

Holzer announced that it is one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for coronary intervention according to new research released by Healthgrades, the leading resource consumers use to find a hospital or doctor. Healthgrades identified the 100 Best hospitals for 16 of the most common specialty care areas – recipient hospitals represent the top 2% of hospitals for each specialty.  This recognition reflects Holzer’s outstanding clinical performance and distinguishes it as one of the country’s leading hospitals. 

In addition, Holzer is a recipient of the Healthgrades Coronary Intervention Excellence Award ™ for 2 years in a row (2023-2024), named among the top 5% in the nation for coronary intervention procedures in 2024, five-star recipient for coronary interventional procedures for 2 years in a row (2023-2024), and a five-star recipient for treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in 2024.

“We are committed to high quality care for our communities,” shared Rodney Stout, MD, MMM, CPE, CEO, Holzer Health System.  “These rankings reflect the dedication our staff has to providing the very best care. Our Cardiac Cath lab underwent a transformation in the past year, which enables us to provide the latest in technology in addition to a caring touch. We are proud to have received these accolades but are even more proud of the care our staff provides each day.”

Healthgrades evaluates hospitals solely on clinical outcomes: risk-adjusted mortality and complications. By focusing on what matters most, patient outcomes, the Healthgrades ratings provide critical feedback for both patients and hospitals. By offering easy access to objective performance measures, Healthgrades gives consumers the information they need to find a hospital that excels in providing the care they need.  And, by shining a light on strengths and weaknesses, the Healthgrades ratings help direct hospitals to opportunities for clinical improvement.  The 2024 hospital assessment evaluated patient mortality and complication rates for 35 common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide to identify the top performers. 

“Holzer is committed to providing the highest level of care,” shared David Fields, MSN, RN, APRN-CNP, Director of Operations, Holzer Cardiology and Pulmonology. “By exceeding national quality metrics leading to outstanding patient outcomes, we have become the only facility in a 120-mile radius given the distinction as one of Americas 100 Best Hospitals for Coronary Intervention by Healthgrades.”

The 2024 Healthgrades analysis revealed that the variation in performance among hospitals continues to widen, making it increasingly important to seek care at top-rated programs. From 2020-2022, patients treated at hospitals among America’s 100 Best for Coronary Intervention have, on average, a 63.5% lower risk of experiencing a complication than if treated in hospitals that did not receive the award.*

“Healthgrades congratulates Holzer for being a national leader and demonstrating a deep commitment to providing high quality care to all patients,” said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Data Science at Healthgrades. “As health systems nationwide endeavor to elevate the quality of care, these elite facilities provide a roadmap for success. We commend Holzer for their dedication to excellence in patient care.”
