Healthgrades recognizes four HCA HealthONE hospitals among America's Best Hospitals

Denver, Colo. — HCA HealthONE announced today that it four of its hospitals have been named one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades, the number one site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital. This achievement reflects HCA HealthONE’s commitment to clinical excellence and top-tier patient care, placing the organization in the top 2% of U.S. hospitals for overall clinical performance. HCA HealthONE Aurora, HCA HealthONE Rose, HCA HealthONE Sky Ridge, and HCA HealthONE Swedish are among the esteemed list of top hospitals nationwide.

“We are incredibly honored to have four of our hospitals recognized among America’s 100 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades,” said Chad Christianson, president and CEO of HCA HealthONE. “This achievement reflects the unwavering dedication of our physicians, nurses, and caregivers who show up every day to deliver safe, high‑quality, and compassionate care. Across our system, we continue to invest in leading‑edge technology, evidence‑based clinical programs, and the professional development of our teams — because our patients deserve nothing less.”

HCA HealthONE’s achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. To determine America’s 100 Best Hospitals for 2026, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for more than 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide.

Healthgrades’ analysis found that outcomes vary widely between the nation’s highest- and lowest-performing facilities — and the gap is getting bigger. In fact, if all hospitals, as a group, performed similarly to America’s 100 Best, on average, 210,126 lives could have been saved during the 2022-2024 study period.* These findings illustrate the importance of choosing a facility with an established record of superior clinical outcomes.

“This year's America’s Best Hospitals list gives patients a clearer picture of where high-quality care is delivered most consistently,” said Alana Biggers, MD, MPH, medical advisor at Healthgrades. “Patients can feel confident in their decision to seek care at all four of the HCA HealthONE hospitals recognized, especially given they are an organization that is setting the standard for clinical excellence nationwide.”

With care variation on the rise, consumers must find and select a top-rated hospital to maximize their chances of a successful outcome.
