Redlands Community Hospital ranks among the top 3 in California for joint replacement and surgical care, according to a new analysis released by Healthgrades, the leading marketplace connecting doctors and patients. Additionally, Redlands ranks in the top 5 in California for orthopedic surgery and is an America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery Award recipient. To determine this year’s state ranking recipients, Healthgrades evaluated clinical performance for nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide focusing on 18 key specialties across a mix of chronic, urgent, and surgical specialty areas. Redlands Community Hospital is the only Hospital in California to receive America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery for 12 years in a row (2012-2023).
“We are proud to be named among California’s top 3 hospitals for joint replacement and surgical care and among the top 5 for orthopedic surgery,” said James Holmes, Redlands Community Hospital President and CEO. “This recognition demonstrates the expertise of our physicians, nurses, and staff and their commitment to providing exceptional health services to each patient who puts their trust in our care.”
Hospitals recognized as among the top 3 and top 5 in their state by Healthgrades are providing patients with consistently better-than-expected clinical outcomes. Patients treated at hospitals receiving a state ranking for Joint Replacement have, on average, a 62.5% lower risk of experiencing a complication while in the hospital than if they were treated in hospitals that were not ranked for Joint Replacement.*
“Being recognized as one of the top 3 in California for Joint Replacement and Surgical Care and top 5 in California for orthopedic surgery is a tremendous achievement that speaks to Redlands Community Hospital’s ongoing commitment to high-quality care. Hospitals receiving #2 and #4 rankings in their state have a proven track record of delivering superior outcomes for the patients in their community," said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Data Science, at Healthgrades. Bowman added, “For almost 25 years, our mission has been to provide consumers with clear and accessible information to make more informed healthcare decisions. Patients can feel confident knowing that they have access to top-ranked care for Joint Replacement, Surgical Care and Orthopedic Surgery at Redlands Community Hospital.
