Mount Carmel New Albany was recognized for four orthopedic areas.
Columbus, Ohio – Mount Carmel New Albany has been named by U.S. News & World Report to its 2024-2025 Best Hospitals as a High Performing hospital for hip fracture, spinal fusion, hip replacement, and knee replacement. This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings.
The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their health care providers in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.

The Mount Carmel New Albany specialty hospital is uniquely positioned to support inpatient and outpatient orthopedic care. The hospital features technologically advanced treatments combined with an expert team of orthopedic surgeons skilled in several progressive treatments including arthroscopic surgery and complex joint replacements to support and improve patients’ health and quality of life.

The facility’s hip and knee joint replacement certification, designated to only a select group of hospitals in the United States, in addition to its disease-specific certification in spine surgery from The Joint Commission, further backs the facility’s capabilities to treat complex orthopedic cases. Mount Carmel’s orthopedic team also participates in cutting-edge research on hip replacement techniques and technologies that allow them to stay ahead of the surgical curve.

“This recognition from U.S. News & World Report underscores our unwavering commitment to patient safety and outstanding outcomes,” said Diane Doucette, Mount Carmel New Albany President. “We are proud to be a trusted healthcare provider in our community and will continue to strive for excellence, ensuring the highest standards of quality in all aspects of patient care.”
U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.

“For 35 years, U.S. News has been a leading resource for patients navigating their health care decisions,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “The ‘High Performing’ designation acknowledges hospitals that consistently deliver high-quality care for specific medical procedures and conditions. This recognition highlights their expertise and commitment to patient well-being.”

To calculate the Best Hospitals rankings, U.S. News evaluated each hospital’s performance on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This year, among other methodology refinements, U.S. News incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on care provided to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of patients included in its annual data analysis. The Procedures & Conditions ratings are based entirely on objective quality measures.
