Trending
PARKERSBURG -- WVU Medicine Camden Clark Medical Center has been recognized by Healthgrades, a leading marketplace connecting doctors and patients.
The hospital was noted in six service lines and received nine Five-Star ratings according to new research released by the organization. The service lines include orthopaedics, cardiac, pulmonary, critical care, neurosciences and gastrointestinal.
Camden Clark is among America's 100 Best Hospitals for Pulmonary Care. These achievements reflect Camden Clark Medical Center's outstanding clinical outcomes in six service areas, the hospital said.
"WVU Medicine Camden Clark is thrilled to be recognized in the newest 2023 Healthgrades Award announcements as a local and national leader of high-quality care we deliver to our community," Cindy Kern, vice president of Quality and Patient Safety at WVU Medicine Camden Clark, said. "It's always been our mission to be a top performing hospital in the nation and we are honored to be recognized in these key areas for our efforts in caring for the Mid-Ohio Valley."
Healthgrades evaluated patient mortality and complication rates for 31 of the most common conditions and procedures at nearly 4,500 hospitals across the country to identify the top-performing hospitals for specialty care.
This year's analysis revealed significant variation in patient outcomes between America's 100 Best Hospitals for Pulmonary Care and hospitals that did not receive this distinction. From 2019-2021, patients treated at hospitals receiving the America's 100 Best Hospitals for Pulmonary Care Award have a lower risk of dying than if they were treated in hospitals that did not receive the award.
"We commend Camden Clark Medical Center for their ongoing commitment to providing high-quality care to patients," said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Data Science at Healthgrades. "Consumers can feel confident that Nationally-Recognized hospitals by Healthgrades have demonstrated their ability to deliver consistently exceptional outcomes."
