Providence St. Patrick Hospital recently received the 2026 Heathgrades Top Patient Experience Award. This is the third year in a row that we have received the award which recognizes hospitals that excel at delivering top-quality care while ensuring a positive patient experience. It represents the top 15% of hospitals nationwide for patient experience.
For this annual analysis, Healthgrades evaluated Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) patient survey data across 10 key patient experience measures–ranging from room cleanliness to care explanations–to determine the nation’s best hospitals for patient experience. Recipients of the 2026 Outstanding Patient Experience Award earned the highest overall experience scores, reflecting an unwavering commitment to exceptional, individualized care.
Healthgrades’ analysis also identified three aspects of patient experience that best predict whether a patient will recommend a hospital to friends and family:
- Doctor communication
- Nurse communication
- Clear communication about care when discharged.
