Celebrate Being One of America’s Best
Earlier this year, Healthgrades released its 2026 America’s Best Hospitals list, officially recognizing the nation’s top facilities for overall patient care. This year’s award recipients represent the top one, two, and five percent of U.S. hospitals, setting the benchmark for clinical excellence nationwide.
As the gap between the nation’s highest- and lowest-performing hospitals continues to grow, spotlighting your facility’s status as one of America’s Best has never been more critical.
Promoting your clinical awards can help your organization:
- Attract new patients by differentiating your brand as the premier option for high quality care.
- Recruit top physicians by showcasing a culture of excellence, appealing to those looking to join a best-in-class care team.
- Improve morale and enhance retention by celebrating the care teams who made this recognition possible.

Celebrate Excellence to Replicate Excellence
Achieving national recognition for high quality care is a goal for every hospital, but telling that story in a way that resonates with patients, staff, and prospective team members can be challenging.
Darian Harris, CEO of Sutter Mills-Peninsula Medical Center, explains how quality awards help his organization educate the community, attract top talent, and encourage continuous clinical excellence.
Wear Your Outstanding Quality On Your Sleeve
At River’s Edge Hospital, quality achievements are more than a shiny badge: they’re a source of pride for clinical team members and a means of instilling trust and confidence in every patient who comes through their doors.
After being ranked #1 in Minnesota for Orthopedic Surgery, leaders at the small but mighty facility recognized an opportunity to spotlight their achievement as part of their physician engagement efforts by featuring the badge on new staff T-shirts.
The badge’s strategic placement on the right sleeve of the shirts ensures that all patients are reminded of River’s Edge’s commitment to clinical excellence from intake to treatment.
