NORTHWEST INDIANA | Community Hospital has achieved numerous distinctions for exceptional clinical performance from Healthgrades. For the fourth year in a row, the Powers Health hospital is recognized as a recipient of the Healthgrades Stroke Care Excellence Award and the Cranial Neurosurgery Excellence Award. The hospital also earned a ranking as one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Gastrointestinal Care.
“Recognition like this reflects the expertise, dedication and compassionate care our teams provide to patients every day,” said Randy Neiswonger, CEO of Community Hospital. “We are proud to be recognized for excellence across multiple areas of care and remain committed to delivering the high-quality outcomes our patients and community deserve.”
As a Comprehensive Stroke Center, Community Hospital cares for complex stroke cases, including patients arriving from northern Indiana’s Primary Stroke Centers. Community Hospital is supported by the certified Primary Stroke Centers at St. Catherine Hospital in East Chicago and St. Mary Medical Center in Hobart.
Community Hospital’s recognition as one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Gastrointestinal Care highlights its commitment to providing high-quality digestive health services. Physicians and clinical teams work together to diagnose and treat gastrointestinal conditions while providing patients with comprehensive, coordinated care.
The hospital’s achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. Unlike rankings based on surveys or reputation, Healthgrades evaluates hospital performance strictly on objective clinical outcomes – risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates – across more than 30 common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide.
“Finding a hospital that excels in a given procedure or treatment can transform a patient’s health trajectory,” said Alana Biggers, MD, MPH, medical adviser at Healthgrades. “We’re proud to recognize Community Hospital for its top-tier performance in Neuroscience and Gastrointestinal Care.”
