SANTA MARIA, CA – March 3, 2022 – Marian Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce it has achieved the Healthgrades 2022 America’s 250 Best Hospitals Award™. The distinction places Marian Regional Medical Center in the top five percent of hospitals assessed across the U.S. for its superior clinical performance according to Healthgrades, the leading resource that connects consumers, physicians and health systems.

“We are especially proud of this incredible accomplishment, ranking us among an elite group of hospitals with exceptional clinical outcomes,” says Sue Andersen, President and CEO, Marian Regional Medical Center. “Our entire health care team share this achievement, which demonstrates our commitment to quality, safety, and patient care. This remarkable acknowledgment serves as a testament to our continued commitment to provide care for the community throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.”

America’s 250 Best Hospital award recipients are making an impact. From 2018-2020, patients treated in hospitals achieving this Healthgrades recognition on average had a 27.8 percent lower risk of dying than if they were treated in hospitals that did not receive this award, as measured across 17 rated conditions and procedures where mortality is the outcome.
