US News & World Report names Bon Secours Hospitals Best in Greenville metro area
July 16, 2024
Bon Secours St. Francis has been recognized as a 2024-2025 “Best Hospital” by the U.S. News & World Report. Together, the health system’s two hospital campuses – St. Francis Eastside and St. Francis Downtown – were ranked first overall in the Greenville, S.C. area.
“We’re honored to once again be recognized by U.S. News and World Report’s Best Hospitals rankings,” said Matt Caldwell, president of Bon Secours St. Francis Health System. “Our care team members deserve credit for their dedication to our mission, always going above and beyond to bring good help to those in need and ensuring our patients get access to exceptional care. I know they are the reason we continue to receive this recognition for being a top hospital in the Upstate.”
The annual Best Hospitals rankings and ratings are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive quality care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures. U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions. Only 11% of evaluated hospitals earned a Best Hospitals ranking, a designation meaning they excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.
“For 35 years, U.S. News has been a leading resource for patients navigating their health care decisions,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “A ‘Best Hospital’ recognition empowers patients to seek out medical care from the best of the best to treat their illness or condition.”
Bon Secours St. Francis Health System earned high performing rating for common adult procedures and conditions in nine categories – chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), colon cancer surgery, heart attack, heart failure, hip replacement, kidney failure, knee replacement, leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, as well as prostate cancer surgery. These ratings are recognition of care that was significantly better than the national average, as measured by factors such as patient outcomes.
