Parkland recognized with multiple 5-star clinical achievements from Healthgrades
Parkland Medical Center, part of HCA Healthcare, has achieved numerous accolades for clinical excellence from Healthgrades, the #1 site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital. Parkland Medical Center is rated five stars for services including hip fracture treatment, treatment of heart attacks, treatment of bowel obstruction, treatment of sepsis, pacemaker procedures and treatment of diabetic hospitalizations.
“We’re honored to once again be recognized by Healthgrades for the outstanding quality care we provide to the communities we serve,” said Hannah Morin, vice president of Quality and Patient Safety at Parkland Medical Center. “We strive to deliver the best possible care for patients who come to us to help improve their health and quality of life.”
Parkland Medical Center’s achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. Each year, Healthgrades evaluates risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for over 30 common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide to identify the top hospitals in key specialty areas. Through easy-to-understand, objective measures of hospital performance, Healthgrades empowers patients with the information they need to find a hospital that excels in their procedure or condition.
As performance gaps persist between the nation’s highest- and lowest-achieving facilities, seeking care at a top program has never been more important. Healthgrades’ 2026 analysis revealed that if all hospitals, as a group, performed similarly to five-star hospitals during the 2022-2024 study period, on average, 230,466 lives could have been saved and 156,797 complications could have been avoided.*
“Healthgrades’ specialty awards identify the nation’s top-performing hospitals in key service areas, helping consumers find high-quality care tailored to their specific needs,” said Alana Biggers, MD, MPH, medical advisor at Healthgrades. “We’re proud to recognize Parkland Medical Center for its consistently superior outcomes in key service areas.”
