Providence Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital has been named among U.S. News & World Report’s 2026-2027 Best Hospitals edition as a High Performing hospital in 11 procedures and conditions including spinal fusion, hip replacement, hip fracture, pacemaker implantation, prostate cancer surgery, ear, nose & throat surgery, pneumonia, COPD, heart arrhythmia, heart bypass surgery and transcatheter aortic valve replacement. This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn as part of U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings.
Fewer than half of the thousands of hospitals evaluated earned a 'High Performing' designation in the types of care evaluated by U.S. News.
U.S. News’ annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their health care providers in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.
“This recognition is a testament to the skill, compassion and unwavering commitment of our physicians, nurses and caregivers,” said Scott Ciesielski, chief administrative officer, Sonoma County. “Every day, our teams at Providence Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital work together to provide exceptional, high-quality care for our patients and the community we are privileged to serve.”
“When patients face a major surgery or a chronic medical condition, having access to clear, quality data is vital,” said U.S. News’ Managing Editor and Chief of Health Analysis Ben Harder. “A ‘High Performing’ rating means that Providence Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital outperformed a national threshold, giving families a reliable starting point as they consult with their doctors to choose the best place for care.”
U.S. News evaluated nearly 4,500 hospitals across 14 adult specialties and 23 procedures and conditions; less than half earned recognition in any of those 37 areas of care. To determine the Best Hospitals, U.S. News analyzed each hospital’s performance based on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and patient experience. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from over 800 million records of patient care.
