Parkland recognized with multiple 5-star clinical achievements from Healthgrades
Parkland Medical Center, part of the HCA Healthcare network, 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 bowel obstruction, treatment of sepsis and treatment of diabetic emergencies.
“We’re honored to once again be recognized by Healthgrades for the outstanding quality care we provide to the communities we serve,” said Joanne McCourt, 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. 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. By offering easy access to objective performance measures, Healthgrades helps consumers find and select a hospital that excels in providing the care they need.
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. “Parkland Medical Center’s leadership, expertise, and unwavering dedication to clinical excellence set a high mark for specialty care in New Hampshire and nationwide.”
