Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic (THMA) is pleased to announce that three of the health system’s hospitals have been recognized by U.S. News & World Report—the global authority in hospital rankings and consumer advice—as high performing for numerous procedures and conditions, with one hospital making the prestigious “Best Hospitals” list.

The annual Best Hospitals rankings and ratings, now in their 33rd year, are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive quality care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.

St. Mary Medical Center, a member of THMA located in Langhorne, Pa., has been recognized as a 2022-2023 Best Hospital.

U.S. News also recognized St. Mary, along with other THMA members Nazareth Hospital in Philadelphia and Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital in Darby, Pa., as 2022-2023 High Performing hospitals for the following procedures and conditions. This is the highest award a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings.

“I am proud to see St. Mary Medical Center and Nazareth Hospital so well-represented on this year’s U.S. News & World Report lists,” said Michael Magro, DO, MBA, FACOI, president of St. Mary Medical Center and Nazareth Hospital. “These awards are a testament to the incredible dedication of our colleagues in continuously providing outstanding treatment and service to our patients and community.”

For the 2022-2023 Best Hospitals rankings and ratings, U.S. News evaluated more than 4,500 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions. Fewer than half of all hospitals received any High Performing rating, and only four earned this rating in all procedures and conditions. State and metro area rankings reflect the highest performing hospitals in the area across multiple areas of care.

“Many patients look to the U.S. News & World Report rankings for guidance on where to receive their care,” said Chris Cullom, president of Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital. “Our strong presence on this year’s list is just one more reason for Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital patients to know they can depend on us for the highest level of care possible.”

The U.S. News Procedures & Conditions methodology is based entirely on objective measures of quality such as survival rates, patient experience, and how successfully each hospital helps patients get back home.
