Best Regional Hospitals - U.S. News and World Report - San Antonio Metro - Recognized in 11 Types of Care 2022-2023

For the fourth consecutive year, Methodist Hospital was named no.1 Best Regional Hospital for 2022-23 by U.S. News and World Report. A best regional hospital ranking is determined by a hospital’s performance in the adult specialty rankings analysis.

Methodist Hospital ranked as a high performer in eleven procedures/conditions, three additional categories as compared to last year. The eleven procedures and conditions include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), colon cancer surgery, diabetes, heart attack, heart bypass surgery, heart failure, kidney failure, knee replacement, prostate cancer surgery, stroke, and uterine cancer surgery.

"This recognition not only reflects our team members' and physicians’ commitment to safety, clinical outcomes, and patient experiences, but it also illustrates our efforts in ensuring our patients have access to the highest level of care," commented Dan Miller, Chief Executive Officer, Methodist Hospital and Methodist Children's Hospital. "Earning this recognition for the fourth year in a row is a testament to the dedication of our entire team. It is an honor to work alongside them as we fulfill our mission and prioritize patient-centered care."

Scores are based largely on objective measures, such as survival rates, volume and quality of nursing, patient safety, specialized staff, and hospital satisfaction. Data collected from other Methodist Healthcare System hospitals -including Methodist Hospital | Metropolitan, Methodist Hospital | Northeast, Methodist Hospital | Texsan, and Methodist Hospital | Specialty and Transplant- contributed to Methodist Hospital’s designation.

“Despite the demands of a pandemic and aftermath, the resiliency of our providers and staff continues to drive us to maintain excellence. Our focus on patient safety, experience, and excellent quality outcomes are the pillars of our commitment to each patient we care for,” commented Diana Henderson, MD, Chief Medical Officer for Methodist Hospital.

The annual Best Hospitals rankings and ratings, now in their 33rd year, are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive quality care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures. For the 2022-2023 rankings and ratings, U.S. News evaluated more than 4,500 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions.
