THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL DESIGNATED A ‘BEST REGIONAL HOSPITAL’ BY U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT

Washington, D.C. – July 16, 2024 -- The George Washington University Hospital (GW Hospital) continues to be a leader in providing the highest level of quality and compassionate healthcare for the D.C. Region. U.S. News & World Report has just released the 2024-2025 ratings and rankings, in which GW Hospital is recognized as a Best Regional Hospital. GW Hospital ranks 4th in the region, which includes hospitals in D.C. and parts of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia.

GW Hospital achieved "high performing" status in six specialty areas: Neurology and Neurosurgery; Orthopedics; Pulmonology and Lung Surgery; Gastroenterology and Gastrointestinal Surgery; Urology; and Geriatrics, along with receiving “high performing” designations for the following eight common procedure and condition areas: Heart Failure; Heart Attack; Kidney Failure; Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Myeloma; Prostate Cancer Surgery; Stroke; Hip Fracture; and Diabetes. Measured by factors such as patient outcomes, "High Performing" is a designation U.S. News & World Report bestows to recognize performance in these specialties that is significantly better than the national average.

Additionally in 2024, GW Hospital received the American College of Cardiology’s National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) Chest Pain – Myocardial Infarction (MI) Registry Platinum Performance Achievement Award.

U.S. News and World Report named GW Hospital as a High Performing Hospital for Maternity Care (Uncomplicated Pregnancy) in 2024. This designation means that GW Hospital provides a high standard of care for patients with uncomplicated pregnancies. This designation is the highest award a hospital can earn for U.S. News' Best Hospitals for Maternity Care.

"We are thrilled that GW Hospital’s commitment to providing the highest quality care to our patients has again been recognized by U.S. News & World Report," says Kimberly Russo, Chief Executive Officer of The George Washington University Hospital and UHS Group Vice President of the Washington, D.C. Region. " As an academic medical center, our multidisciplinary care teams are dedicated to outstanding clinical excellence, research, and education in order to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients. This recognition by U.S. News & World Report, which places us within the top hospitals in the region, is a testament to the range of advanced services we offer and the expertise, specialized skills, and commitment of our entire care team. GW Hospital is dedicated to elevating healthcare in our community, across Washington, D.C. and the greater DMV area.”

To be ranked as a Best Regional Hospital, a hospital or healthcare system has to outperform its peers in procedures and conditions that U.S. News & World Report evaluates, including risk-adjusted survival, patient experience, level of nursing care and successfully returning patients home following discharge. The annual Best Hospitals rankings and ratings assist patients and their doctors in making informed healthcare decisions.
