UW Medical Center was once again named to the Becker’s Healthcare list of “100 great hospitals in America.” The 2018 list was released in early May.

According to Becker’s, these institutions are industry leaders that have achieved advanced accreditation and certification in several specialties. The list also includes industry innovators that have sparked trends in healthcare technology, hospital management and patient satisfaction
Becker’s Healthcare selected the hospitals for inclusion based on analysis of ranking and award agencies, including U.S. News & World Report’s 2017-18 rankings, CMS star ratings, Leapfrog grades and Truven Health Analytics. Becker’s also sought nominations for this list.
