Top Hospitals for Patient Experience in 2026

Every spring, Healthgrades recognizes the top 15% of hospitals for patient experience with the Outstanding Patient Experience Award. This achievement is based on real patient survey data and reflects an organization’s clear commitment to delivering consistently exceptional, patient-centered care from intake to discharge.

Why Promote Your Award-Winning Patient Experience?

Studies show that patients who report a positive inpatient experience are more likely to adhere to treatment plans after leaving the hospital and less likely to experience complications during their at-home recovery. According to recent Healthgrades research, these satisfied patients are also more likely to recommend a hospital to loved ones, making your exceptional care all the more worth celebrating.

From administration to nursing, each team member plays an important role in ensuring patients’ safety and comfort during their hospital stay and beyond. License your achievement to celebrate your team, differentiate your clinical outcomes, and remind new and future patients that trusted care is close to home.
