Reid Health earns 12 specialty care honors from Healthgrades

Oct. 22, 2024 -- Reid Health has earned several accolades for clinical excellence in specialty care from Healthgrades, the No. 1 site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital.

Among the distinctions was an award for America's 100 Best Hospitals for Pulmonary Care, the second straight year Reid gained the honor that goes to the top 5% in the nation for pulmonary services.

Healthgrades also recognized Reid with Excellence Awards for stroke care (third year in a row) and critical care (second), putting Reid in the top 10% across the country for those treatments.

Reid also was rated five stars for seven services, including treatment of:

• Heart attack
• Heart failure -- third year in a row
• Stroke -- seventh year in a row
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) -- second year in a row
• Pneumonia -- third year in a row
• Gastrointestinal bleed -- second year in a row
• Sepsis -- fourth year in a row

In addition to these national recognitions, Reid was ranked No. 2 in Indiana for both critical care and pulmonary care.

"Each of these awards is a reflection of our commitment to delivering exceptional care year after year to those we serve," said Reid Health President/CEO Craig Kinyon. "These achievements are the result of many hours of hard work and dedication from each member of the Reid team to fulfill our mission to lead our communities to well-being, one person at a time."

Reid's achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. As part of its 2025 hospital assessment, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for more than 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at some 4,500 hospitals nationwide to determine the top performers in specialty care.

By offering easy access to objective performance measures, Healthgrades helps consumers find and select a hospital that excels in providing the care they need.

As variation in performance among hospitals continues to grow, it's increasingly important for consumers to seek care at top-rated programs. Healthgrades' 2025 analysis revealed if all hospitals as a group performed similarly to five-star hospitals during the 2021-2023 study period, on average, 224,958 lives could potentially have been saved and 141,692 complications could potentially have been avoided.

"Healthgrades commends the team at Reid Health for their clear commitment to delivering consistently superior patient outcomes in critical service areas," said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Data Science at Healthgrades. "Reid's leadership, expertise, and unwavering dedication to clinical excellence set a high mark for specialty care in Indiana and nationwide."
