Adventist Health Glendale has, once again, been independently verified by U.S. News & World Report as one of 2020’s Best Hospitals in its annual ranking.

The hospital, celebrating its 115th anniversary, is 12th among the 132 hospitals in the Los Angeles area and 20th in California from among 424 hospitals. These rankings place it, again, in the top 5% of hospitals statewide and the top 10% of LA-area hospitals and further validate its standing as a destination medical center for advanced care; nearly a quarter of all patients come from outside the primary and secondary markets.

These rankings are based on in-depth analyses of clinical outcomes, staffing, technological capabilities, patient safety and patient satisfaction from nearly 5,000 hospitals nationwide.

In addition to the overall ratings, Adventist Health Glendale ranked high performing in the following adult specialties: diabetes & endocrinology, geriatrics, neurology & neurosurgery, orthopedics, pulmonology & lung surgery and urology.

Finally, Adventist Health Glendale ranked high performing in the following common adult procedures and conditions: colon cancer surgery, COPD and heart failure.

Recognition such as this, the 5-star rating from CMS and the 11th consecutive ‘A’ grade from The Leapfrog Group, have come as a result of the hospital’s ongoing focus on superb patient experiences, continued expansion of advanced technologies like the structural heart program, and the unwavering commitment to providing safe, quality outcomes for our patients.

“These results recognize our cornerstone as a center for top decile care. This enables us to meet unexpected demands, including the COVID-19 pandemic, with innovation, agility and a singular focus on living our mission to inspire health, wholeness and hope for our patients and our communities,” said Alice Issai, president of Adventist Health Glendale. “I’m so proud of our team’s dedication in these turbulent times and the work they’ve been doing to meet the demands of this crisis. It’s the same commitment I see in calmer times, which really speaks to what an amazing group of professionals here caring for our patients.”
