Prisma Health announced that Prisma Health Oconee Memorial Hospital and Prisma Health Baptist Parkridge Hospital have been named to Becker’s Hospital Review’s 2026 list of “100 Great Community Hospitals.”  This annual list recognizes hospitals that deliver exceptional clinical care, achieve strong patient outcomes, and serve as vital healthcare resources within their communities.
