FORT MYERS — Healthgrades ranked two Fort Myers hospitals among the top 5% in the nation based on clinical performance.
“Consumers today are assuming more and more responsibility for health care decisions and are increasingly relying on objective measures of quality to inform their selection of hospitals and physicians,” says Evan Marks, chief strategy officer with Healthgrades, in a statement. “It is important for consumers to understand the variability in the nation's hospitals so that they can make more informed choices.”
Healthgrades, which evaluates clinical performance of 36 procedures at 4,500 hospitals around the country, awarded Lee Memorial Hospital and HealthPark Medical Center in Fort Myers with the 2015 Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence. They were among 261 hospitals nationwide to receive the award.
“To be in the top five percent of hospitals in the nation is quite an achievement,” says Jim Nathan, president and CEO of Lee Memorial Health System, in a statement. “The ability to continually rank among the best in the nation year after year is the result of hard work and dedication of each and every staff member and their unwavering commitment to provide comprehensive and compassionate care.”
