HCA HealthONE Swedish earns a U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals award
HCA HealthONE Swedish has been named among U.S. News & World Report’s 2025-2026 Best Hospitals edition as a High Performing hospital for ten procedures. This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn as part of U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings.
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 from U.S. News & World Report is a reflection of the unwavering commitment our caregivers demonstrate every day,” said Scott Davis, chief executive officer of HCA HealthONE Swedish. “Being named a High Performing hospital across ten procedures and conditions reinforces our role as a trusted leader in healthcare — not only in Denver, but across the entire Rocky Mountain region. I’m incredibly proud of our team’s dedication to delivering exceptional care and advancing health outcomes for the communities we serve.”
“For more than three decades, U.S. News has been an invaluable guide for patients,” said managing editor and chief of health analysis Ben Harder at U.S. News. “Hospitals designated as ‘High Performing’ by U.S. News demonstrate a consistent ability to provide excellent care for particular medical procedures and conditions, showcasing their specialized expertise as well as dedication to exceptional patient outcomes.”
U.S. News evaluated more than 4,400 hospitals across 15 adult specialties and 22 procedures and conditions; only one third of them earned an award. 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 level of nursing care. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from over 800 million records of patient care.
