Two Providence hospitals have been recognized nationally for critical care and orthopedic surgery programs.

Providence Holy Cross Medical Center has been nationally recognized among the nation’s 100 Best Hospitals for Critical Care and Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center as one of the 176 Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery. 

Healthgrades, a leading source for consumer information on hospital quality, announced that both hospitals were awarded these honors.

“Our critical care team cares for some of the most vulnerable patients we serve with exceptional skill, compassion and teamwork. Their patients literally are fighting for their lives,” said Bernie Klein, M.D., chief executive of Providence Holy Cross. 

The Specialty Excellence Awards for Critical Care recognize hospitals that deliver “superior patient outcomes in treating pulmonary embolism, respiratory system failure, sepsis and diabetic hospitalizations,” Becker’s Health Review said.

The Mission Hills Medical Center treats patients for a range of extreme injuries and critical conditions such as strokes. The Tarzana location provides a range of orthopedic care from age-related fractures to sports medicine injuries. 

“We’re fortunate to have an extremely talented team of orthopedic surgery specialists who provide state-of-the-art care, including the latest minimally invasive procedures, comprehensive recovery programs and rehabilitation,” said Nick Lymberopoulos, Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana chief executive. “Their focus is on helping patients maintain their quality of life.”

Also in California, Providence St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton and Providence Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital in Northern California were named Friday among Healthgrades’ 30 Best Hospitals for Spine Surgery, according to Becker’s. Providence St. Jude and Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica were included in 50 Best Hospitals for Surgical Care. 

Additionally, Providence Saint John’s Health Center was included in the 176 best hospitals for orthopedic surgery.

Providence is committed to whole-person care, ensuring patients and their families are involved in that care, and their values, preferences, priorities and cultures are respected. Doctors, nurses and clinicians share evidence-based practices across the 51-hospital system to continually improve and enhance patient care.

Healthgrades analyzed 2021-23 inpatient data from the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Medicare analysis and review file. Healthgrades used in-hospital mortality and 30-day mortality data to calculate scores for each of the conditions.
