Holy Cross Hospital Named Among America's 100 Best Hospitals in the Country

 

Holy Cross Hospital is a national leader for patient care and a recipient of the Healthgrades 2022 America’s 100 Best Hospitals Award™. This places Holy Cross Hospital among the top two percent of all hospitals for clinical care and patient outcomes across treatment of the most common conditions and procedures. This is the 2nd consecutive year Holy Cross Hospital is among America’s 100 Best Hospitals, one of only six hospitals in Maryland among America’s 100 Best Hospitals, and the only recipient in Montgomery County, Maryland.

“The past two years have been the most challenging of my 38 years in Medicine,” said Ann Burke, MD, vice president of medical affairs at Holy Cross Hospital, part of Holy Cross Health. “COVID-19 has stressed every aspect of medical care and put unusual pressure on efforts to achieve excellence. To attain the Top 100 Hospital designation over these challenging two years is a testament to the unrelenting quest for quality in our colleagues and physicians. As the only hospital in the U.S. in 2021 to achieve the Top 100 Hospital Designation plus all Three Excellence Awards for Women's Services further solidifies our position at the most trusted provider for women. Our participation and leadership of State and Regional Collaboratives supports excellent care for sepsis, diabetes, heart failure and pneumonia.”

Since 2015, Holy Cross Hospital’s Joint and Spine Unit has been designated a Center of Excellence by the Joint Commission. In 2021, Holy Cross Hospital acquired the da Vinci® Xi Surgical System – the latest in robotic surgery technology, advancing our commitment to minimally invasive surgical approaches. Holy Cross Health is the only health care provider in Maryland to receive the Workplace Excellence Seal of Approval Award from the Alliance for Workplace Excellence every year since 1999.

“We are proud to recognize Holy Cross Hospital one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for 2022,” said Brad Bowman, MD, chief medical officer, and head of data science at Healthgrades. “As an America’s 100 Best hospital, Holy Cross Hospital’s clinical performance and patient outcomes outpaced nearly all other hospitals in the country.
