NANTICOKE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL RANKED AMONG TOP IN NATION FOR CRITICAL AND PULMONARY CARE BY HEALTHGRADES

A report released on October 18, 2011 by HealthGrades, an independent source of hospital quality outcomes, named Nanticoke Memorial Hospital one of America’s Best 100 Hospitals for Critical Care in 2012. Nanticoke Memorial Hospital has received the Critical Care Excellence Award for 2012. HealthGrades has ranked Nanticoke among the Top 5% in the nation and #1 in Delaware for critical care. For patients receiving care at a 5-star hospital, data shows there is a 72% lower risk of dying when compared to a hospital with a 1-star rating.

HealthGrades reviews patient outcomes data and rates individual hospitals with a 1-star, 3-star, or 5-star rating in each of 26 procedures and diagnoses. Receiving a 5-star rating, such as Nanticoke received for Critical Care, means the hospital outperformed the national average to a statistically significant degree based on risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates.

Nanticoke Memorial Hospital has also received the Pulmonary Care Excellence Award for 2012 and is ranked among the top 10% in the nation with a 5-star rating.

“We could not be more proud of this accomplishment. The physicians, nurses, and support staff at Nanticoke work hard every day to provide the best care possible for our patients. Receiving national recognition for their efforts only serves to validate the extraordinary efforts we see each day at our hospital,” said Steve Rose, President and CEO of Nanticoke Health Services.
