Rising three spots from last year, Huntsville Hospital claimed No. 1 on Newsweek’s Best-in-State Hospitals list, according to data compiled by Statista Healthcare and reported by Hville Blast.
The ranking covers more than 5,000 evaluated facilities nationwide, with 800 recognized across the country. In Alabama, 15 hospitals made the cut. Huntsville Hospital’s evaluation included metrics from Madison Hospital and Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children.
Newsweek built its evaluation on four pillars. Hospital quality metrics made up 50% of the total score. Hospital reputation accounted for 28.5%. Patient experience contributed 15%, while Patient Reported Outcome Measures implementation filled out the remaining 6.5%.
Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham and Fayette Medical Center joined Huntsville Hospital near the top of the state list. UAB St. Vincent’s in Birmingham and UAB St. Vincent’s East also earned recognition among the state’s 15 honored facilities, alongside Russell Medical Center in Alexander City and East Alabama Medical Center in Opelika.
South Baldwin Regional Medical Center in Foley and two Birmingham facilities—Baptist Health Princeton Hospital and Baptist Health Brookwood Hospital—secured spots on the list. Southeast Health Center in Dothan and USA Health Providence Hospital in Mobile also made the ranking.
Rounding out the state’s 15 recognized medical centers are Riverview Medical Center in Gadsden, Decatur Morgan Hospital in Decatur, and Springhill Medical Center in Mobile.
“Every day, our employees take care of people who are counting on us, often during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. That takes tremendous skill, compassion and teamwork. This recognition reflects the work they put in every single day, and it’s something our employees and the communities we serve can all be proud of,” said Tracy Doughty, Huntsville Hospital CEO, in a statement published by Hville Blast.
