Reid Health named one of America’s 250 Best Hospitals for 2025 by Healthgrades

Jan. 28, 2025 -- Reid Health has been named one of America's 250 Best Hospitals for 2025, according to new research released by Healthgrades, the No. 1 site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital.

The achievement puts the organization in the top 5% of hospitals nationwide for overall clinical performance for the second year in a row.

"To fulfill our mission to lead our communities to well-being, one person at a time requires a team that's driven to provide the highest quality of care," said Craig Kinyon, Reid Health President/CEO. "This national recognition reflects what we've long known about our team's unwavering commitment to exceptional patient care."

According to Healthgrades, America's 250 Best Hospitals is based exclusively on what matters most: patient outcomes. To determine the top hospitals for 2025, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for more than 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at about 4,500 hospitals nationwide.

Healthgrades' annual analysis revealed significant performance gaps between the nation's highest- and lowest-achieving hospitals, making it increasingly important to seek care at a top-rated facility. In fact, from 2021-2023, if all hospitals -- as a group -- had performed similarly to America's 250 Best, 174,081 lives on average could have been saved.

"As one of America's 250 Best Hospitals, Reid Health is elevating the standard for quality care nationwide," said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Data Science at Healthgrades. "Healthgrades commends Reid for their ongoing leadership and commitment to providing the best possible care for all patients in East Central Indiana and West Central Ohio."

Healthgrades previously recognized Reid for high-quality care across a series of specialty services, including an award for America's 100 Best Hospitals for Pulmonary Care (top 5% nationwide) and Excellence Awards for stroke care and critical care (top 10%).

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

• Heart attack
• Heart failure
• Stroke
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Pneumonia
• Gastrointestinal bleed
• Sepsis

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