Parkland Medical Center, part of HCA Healthcare, has been recognized as a 2025 Patient Safety Excellence Award™ recipient by Healthgrades, the leading resource consumers use to find a hospital or doctor. This is the seventh consecutive year that Parkland Medical Center has earned this recognition.
“Being recognized nationally as a top 10 percent hospital for patient safety for seven years in a row is a huge testament to our unwavering commitment to providing safe, high-quality care,” said Whitney Fenyak, chief executive officer of Parkland Medical Center. “We strive to treat every patient with compassion, dignity and respect. Our care is built on compassionate, connected care, and our colleagues take tremendous pride in making a positive impact on our patients and the communities we serve every day.”
Parkland Medical Center’s achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. As part of its 2025 hospital assessment, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for over 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide to determine the top performers in specialty care.
As variation in performance among hospitals continues to grow, it is increasingly important for consumers to seek care at top-rated programs. Healthgrades’ 2025 analysis revealed that if all hospitals as a group performed similarly to five-star hospitals during the 2021-2023 study period, on average, 224,958 lives could potentially have been saved and 141,692 complications could potentially have been avoided.*
“Healthgrades commends Parkland Medical Center for its clear commitment to delivering consistently superior patient outcomes in critical service areas,” said Brad Bowman, MD, chief medical officer and head of data science at Healthgrades. “The hospital’s leadership, expertise, and unwavering dedication to clinical excellence set a high mark for specialty care in New Hampshire and nationwide.”
