Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center (LHAAMC) has been recognized by Newsweek as one of the best hospitals in the United States. Out of the 412 hospitals named, LHAAMC ranks as the 90th best hospital nationwide for providing outstanding healthcare to patients.
“This ongoing recognition by Newsweek is humbling and reflects the commitment and dedication of our team to prioritize patient care,” said Sherry Perkins, president of LHAAMC. “I extend my sincere gratitude to every member of our hospital and to our community for entrusting us with their healthcare needs for more than 120 years.”
Newsweek partnered with Statista Inc. to rank leading hospitals, based on three data sources: medical experts, patient experience surveys and medical key performance indicators including: patient safety, hygiene measures and quality of treatment.
According to Newsweek, each hospital’s score is based on an online survey of more than 85,000 medical experts and public data from post-hospitalization patient surveys on their general satisfaction. The score also considers metrics on things like hygiene and patient/doctor ratio as well as a Statista survey on whether hospitals use Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), which are standardized questionnaires completed by patients to assess their experience and results.
“Our team-based approach of caring for patients ensures we provide quality-driven and seamless healthcare throughout every stage of their medical journey with compassion and attention to a positive patient experience,” said Dr. Michael Webb, president of the medical staff at LHAAMC. “We strive every day to uphold Luminis Health’s mission of enhancing the health of the people and communities we are privileged to serve.”
