HCA Florida Twin Cities Hospital announced today it has earned top honors for clinical quality from Healthgrades, the #1 online resource Americans use to find a doctor or hospital.
HCA Florida Twin Cities Hospital’s latest recognitions include two Five-Star Ratings in orthopedics for treatment of hip fractures for the second year in a row, and in critical care for treatment of sepsis for the sixth year in a row.
“When patients and families turn to us during some of their most vulnerable moments, they deserve to know they are receiving care they can trust,” said Todd Jackson, chief executive officer at HCA Florida Twin Cities Hospital. “Our continued recognition by Healthgrades for excellence in treating sepsis and hip fractures reflects the expertise, teamwork and unwavering commitment of our physicians, nurses and clinical staff. Achieving these five-star ratings for multiple consecutive years is especially meaningful because it demonstrates our ongoing focus on patient safety, clinical quality and delivering the best possible outcomes for the communities we serve.”
HCA Florida Twin Cities Hospital’s achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. Unlike rankings based on surveys or reputation, Healthgrades evaluates hospital performance strictly on objective clinical outcomes – risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates – across more than 30 common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide.
The impact of choosing a high-performing hospital for your care is significant. Healthgrades’ 2027 analysis revealed that if all hospitals performed at the level of five-star rated facilities during the 2023-2025 study period, 227,229 lives could have been saved and 158,138 complications could have been avoided.*
“Finding a hospital that excels in a given procedure or treatment can transform a patient’s health trajectory,” said Alana Biggers, MD, MPH, medical advisor at Healthgrades. “We’re proud to recognize HCA Florida Twin Cities Hospital for its top-tier performance in treatment of hip fractures and sepsis, and commend its team for delivering exceptional patient outcomes when it matters most.”
