Kansas City, KS – November 3, 2025 – Providence Medical Center, a member of Prime Healthcare, announced today that it has achieved numerous distinctions for exceptional clinical performance from Healthgrades , the #1 site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital. Among Providence’s new recognitions are 3 five-star achievements including Pacemaker Procedures, Hip Fracture Treatment, and Treatment of Diabetic Hospitalizations.
“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 Providence Medical Center for its consistently superior outcomes in key service areas, including cardiac, orthopedics, and critical diabetic care.”
“These accolades are a testament to the unwavering commitment and excellence of our dedicated medical team,” said Karen Orr, RN, MSN, MBA, CEO at Providence Medical Center . “Our focus remains on providing the highest quality care to our patients, and these recognitions reaffirm our mission to serve our community with compassion and expertise.”
Providence’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, including cardiac, specialty, and critical care. 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.*
