Healthgrades Names Mon Health Medical Center
Five-Star Recipient for Women’s Care
Mon Health Medical Center has been named a five-star
recipient for vaginal delivery, gynecologic procedures and hys-
terectomy by Healthgrades, the leading online resource for com-
prehensive information about physicians and hospitals. This
five-star rating indicates that the hospital’s clinical outcomes
are statistically significantly better than expected when treat-
ing the condition or performing the procedure being evaluated.
“Mon Health Medical Center has long been recognized in the
community for its comprehensive women’s health programs,” says
Mon Health President and CEO David Goldberg. “These five-
star awards from Healthgrades are the reflection of the strong
commitment of our staff, gynecologists, obstetricians and sur-
geons to delivering clinical excellence and compassionate care.”
To help consumers evaluate and compare hospital perfor-
mance, Healthgrades analyzed all payer state data for 15 states
and the District of Columbia for years 2014-2016. Healthgrades
found that there is a significant variation in hospital quality
between those that have received five stars and those that have
not. For example, from 2014-2016, patients having a vaginal
delivery in hospitals with five stars have, on average, a 42.7
percent lower risk of experiencing a complication while in the
hospital than if they were treated by hospitals with a one-star
rating. Additionally, from 2014-2016, patients having a hys-
terectomy in hospitals receiving one-star care were, on aver-
age, 2.6 times more likely to experience one or more compli-
cations than if they were treated in hospitals with five stars.
“This recognition is a testament to the staff of the Mon
Health Medical Center Family Birth Center and their ded-
ication to bringing high-quality, compassionate care to
patients,” says Mon Health Vice President of Patient Care
Services Daphne Scordato. “Receiving these honors for women’s
care have become a pattern for Mon Health Medical Center.
Patients and their families feel the difference at Mon Health
Medical Center, and this honor is a reflection of that.”
