Dignity Health – Glendale Memorial Hospital and Health Center (GMHHC), a member of CommonSpirit Health, announced that it has earned 12 recognitions from Healthgrades, a national leading resource for patients seeking information about hospitals and physicians. The 2027 honors recognize the hospital’s commitment to delivering clinical excellence and compassionate care to patients.

GMHHC’s 2027 Healthgrades recognitions include:

• America’s Best Hospitals for Specialty Care: Cardiac, Orthopedics, and Surgical Care.
• Specialty Excellence Awards: Coronary Intervention for two years in a row, Orthopedic Surgery, Joint Replacement and Surgical Care.
• National Rankings: One of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery, Top 10% for Coronary Interventional Procedures for two years in a row, Top 15% for Overall Orthopedic Services, Top 15% for Joint Replacement, and Top 10% for Surgical Care.
• Five-Star Ratings: Coronary Interventional Procedures for three years in a row, Total Hip Replacement, and Hip Fracture Treatment for two years in a row.

“Every patient who walks through our doors deserves to feel confident they are receiving exceptional care,” said Betsy Hart, Hospital president. “These recognitions reflect the remarkable expertise and dedication of our physicians, nurses and care teams who work every day to deliver fantastic outcomes for the patients and families who trust us with their care. It is awesome to see their commitment recognized on a national level.”

These achievements contribute to Dignity Health California’s broader success, with hospitals across the state earning 170 specialty awards, ratings and distinctions in the 2027 Healthgrades evaluations. The recognitions span a wide range of specialties, including cardiovascular care, critical care, orthopedics, gastrointestinal care, neurosciences, pulmonary care, surgical care and outpatient services, among others, reflecting the region’s continued commitment to clinical excellence and positive patient outcomes.

Healthgrades evaluates clinical performance at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide. The importance of choosing a high-performing hospital extends beyond traditional inpatient care. Healthgrades’ 2027 analysis found that patients treated at nationally recognized outpatient programs experienced better outcomes than those treated at facilities without comparable recognition. According to the analysis, 36,628 complications could have been avoided if all hospitals had performed at the level of five-star-rated facilities during the 2023–25 study period.

“For patients in search of quality care beyond the four walls of the hospital, finding an outpatient program that excels in their procedure can transform their health trajectory,” said Alana Biggers, MD, MPH, medical advisor at Healthgrades. “We’re proud to recognize GMHHC for its top-tier performance and commend its team for delivering exceptional patient outcomes when and where it matters most.”

Together, these accolades put GMHHC in the top tier of U.S. hospitals for outpatient care, reflecting the organization’s commitment to superior clinical outcomes for patients undergoing critical outpatient procedures.
