Emory University Hospital has been named as one of Becker’s Healthcare “100 great hospitals in America” for 2018. Emory is the only hospital in Georgia to make the list, which can be found in Becker’s Hospital Review.

Hospitals included on this list have been recognized nationally for excellence in clinical care, patient outcomes and staff and physician satisfaction. The hospitals are also industry leaders that have achieved advanced accreditation and certification in several specialties, while also being known as industry innovators — sparking trends in health care technology, hospital management and patient satisfaction.

In creating its list of “100 great hospitals in America,” Becker's Healthcare selected hospitals for inclusion based on analysis of ranking and award agencies, including U.S. News & World Report's 2017-18 rankings, CMS star ratings, Leapfrog grades and Truven Health Analytics. Becker's also sought nominations for its list.

“This recognition emphasizes the outstanding care delivered to our patients by our many skilled provider teams throughout the hospital,” says Bryce Gartland, MD, CEO of Emory University Hospital. “We thank them for their compassion and commitment demonstrated every single day to our patients and their families.”
