California Hospital Medical Center Recognized with “Best in Class” Consumer Loyalty Designation

August 10, 2023 (Los Angeles, CA) ― NRC Health is pleased to announce that Dignity Health – California Hospital Medical Center (CHMC) has been named to the annual Consumer Loyalty Best in Class list, the only loyalty-based hospital rankings, recognizing the top U.S. healthcare facilities.

The Consumer Loyalty Awards recognize healthcare organizations that consumers rate the highest on an equally-weighted combination of Net Promoter Score (NPS), Brand Perception (overall image and reputation), and NRC Health’s proprietary Human Understanding Metric. The 100 top-scoring organizations are included in the ranking, but only the top 10 of those receive Best in Class designation. 

“Patient loyalty is the result of the trust earned through valued relationships, exceptional experiences, and high-quality medical care,” states Alina Moran, CHMC Hospital President. “This designation recognizes our dedicated staff who work hard to provide an environment that always puts the patient first.”

CHMC was selected based on results from the NRC Health Market Insights survey, the largest database of healthcare consumer responses in the country. To qualify for consideration, organizations must have received at least 150 “Top-of-Mind" mentions on NRC Health’s national Market Insights study between April 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023. Market Insights measures the opinions, behaviors, and profiles of 310,000 people annually. 

"Our 2023 Consumer Loyalty Best in Class Award winners are truly in a class by themselves," said Helen Hrdy, Chief Growth Officer at NRC Health. "California Hospital Medical Center has worked to build patient care experiences that inspire loyalty. Their work is an inspiration to us and hospitals and health systems across the country."
