Huntington Hospital Again Honored by Healthgrades

Huntington Hospital is one of America’s 100 best hospitals for cardiac care and coronary intervention, according to new research released by Healthgrades, a leading resource that connects consumers, physicians and health systems.
Every year, Healthgrades evaluates hospital performance at nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide for 32 of the most common inpatient procedures and conditions using Medicare data, and outcomes in appendectomy and bariatric surgery using all-payer data provided by 16 states.
“Now more than ever, consumers understand the importance of hospital quality and starting to become more diligent when researching where they receive care,” said Dr. Brad Bowman, Healthgrades’ chief medical officer. “When selecting a hospital, consumers can feel confident in the America’s 100 Best Hospitals for cardiology for their commitment to quality care and exceptional outcomes.”

Huntington is currently expanding its care capabilities with its new Huntington Heart and Vascular Center, creating state-of-the-art facilities to provide cutting-edge, compassionate care to cardiology patients. The new facility is set to open this year.
“I’m so proud our hospital has been named one of Healthgrades America’s 100 best for cardiac care and coronary intervention, now for the second year in a row,” said Dr. Lori J. Morgan, Huntington president and CEO. “These designations are a testament to the world-class care our entire cardiovascular services team offers our patients.”
“While the pandemic continues, our No. 1 priority is caring for our community,” said Dr. Azhil (Alex) Durairaj, Huntington’s medical director of cardiovascular services. “Our cardiovascular team works hard every day to provide excellent and safe care to our patients. Heart disease impacts so many of our friends and family members. I encourage you to make your physical and mental well-being your first priority during this challenging time – please see your doctor and don’t delay the vital care you need.”

Healthgrades recognizes a hospital’s quality achievements for cohort-specific performance, specialty area performance, and overall clinical quality. Individual procedure or condition cohorts are designated as five-star (statistically significantly better than expected), three-star (not statistically different from expected) and one-star (statistically significantly worse than expected).
