Mount Carmel St. Ann’s was recognized for five procedures and conditions.

Columbus, Ohio – Mount Carmel St. Ann’s has been named by U.S. News & World Report to its 2024-2025 Best Hospitals as a High Performing hospital for prostate cancer surgery, heart failure, knee replacement, COPD and pneumonia. 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.

Mount Carmel’s fully integrated cardiovascular center of excellence with open-heart capabilities and a primary stroke center supports nearly half of the areas of recognition. The hospital’s experienced team of board-certified cardiologists, which includes specialists in general cardiology, diagnostic cardiology, interventional cardiology and electrophysiology, provides a comprehensive array of diagnostic tests to identify heart-related ailments and a number of innovative procedures to treat them.

“Ensuring patient safety and delivering high-quality outcomes are our top priorities and we are proud to see this dedication recognized across multiple specialties,” said Diane Doucette, Mount Carmel St. Ann’s President. “Our advanced facilities and exceptional medical team enable us to provide award-winning, patient-focused 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.
