MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center Named a Regional Best Hospital by U.S. News and World Report

CLINTON, Md -  MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center is the only hospital in Prince George’s County and in the southern Maryland region to receive a Best Regional Hospital ranking from U.S. News & World Report for 2023-2024. State and metro area rankings offer information on community hospitals that are highly rated but may not be nationally ranked. Regional rankings are displayed for nearly every state and for the nation's largest metro areas, provided there is at least one Best Regional Hospital located there. This year, 494 hospitals in 49 states and 92 metro areas were recognized as Best Regional Hospitals.

MedStar Southern Maryland was also rated as high performing in seven procedures and conditions, including Heart Failure, Heart Attack, Stroke, Kidney Failure, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Diabetes, and Pneumonia. According to U.S. News, hospitals that are not nationally ranked but scored high enough in a specialty to put them in the top 10% are recognized as high performing. Hospitals are ranked from 1 to 50 in each specialty, with hospitals not in the top 50 but still in the top 10% of all rated hospitals receiving a designation of “high performing.”

“We are proud to be a part of the U.S. News & World Report ranking,” said Stephen T. Michaels, MD, President of MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center. “This really speaks volumes to the high-quality specialty services and patient care we provide at MedStar Southern Maryland.”
