Iredell Memorial Hospital has once again been ranked among the top 25 best hospitals in the state by Business North Carolina.
Business North Carolina hospital rankings are generated using more than 25 healthcare metrics with an emphasis on data collected from the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Other sources include The LeapFrog Group, which named Iredell Memorial a top hospital for 2024, Blue Center of Distinction awards from Blue Cross & Blue Shield of North Carolina, and U.S. News & World Report ratings. Other factors include infection rates, mortality rates, readmissions, and patient satisfaction surveys for common procedures.
Because of the nature of these metrics, Business North Carolina’s hospital rankings tend to favor larger health systems, further proving Iredell Health System’s dedication to providing quality care close to home, despite its smaller size compared to others on the list.
Iredell Memorial Hospital was also named a Blue Distinction Center by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina for excellence in knee and hip replacement surgery and maternity care. This recognition is based on input from the medical community and patient safety data.
For more than 70 years, Iredell Health System has provided the care you need close to home.
“We are so proud to see our most recent ranking from Business North Carolina,” said Iredell Health System President & CEO John Green. “As an independent health system, we rely on external ratings to ensure that we are providing the quality services. These results certainly show that we are on the right track and will continue to strive to attain these results to provide great local care for our community.”
