Healthgrades honored 377 hospitals across 44 states for patient experience.
Healthgrades released its 2025 Outstanding Patient Experience Award, which recognizes hospitals that provide top-quality care while ensuring a positive healthcare experience for patients. The company analyzed data from 3,059 hospitals that submitted at least 100 patient experience surveys to CMS between January and December 2023. It used 10 metrics from the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems patient survey data. Recipients of the patient experience award earned the highest overall experience scores. These hospitals represent the top 15% of hospitals in the nation for patient experience. Read more about the methodology here.
In 2025, Healthgrades found that doctor communication, nurse communication and clear communication about care when discharged were the metrics that best predicted a patient’s likelihood to recommend the hospital to family and friends.
Among the recipients, 66 hospitals received distinctions in both the Outstanding Patient Experience Award and the Patient Safety Excellence Award, and only 10 earned Outstanding Patient Experience, Patient Safety Excellence and America’s Best Hospitals distinctions for 2025.
