| Healthgrade Honors |

We’re pleased to announce that Healthgrades has named Dignity Health – St. Mary Medical Center among the top 10% in the nation for critical care in 2022! This year, St. Mary also received Healthgrades’ Critical Care Excellence Award, and two prominent Five-Star awards following this year’s evaluation from Healthgrades, the leading health ratings agency for physicians and hospitals. Specifically, St. Mary received a Five-Star rating in Critical Care for the treatment of sepsis, and a Five-Star rating for excellence in gallbladder removal surgery. A Five-Star rating indicates that our clinical outcomes are statistically significantly better than expected when treating the condition or performing the procedure being evaluated.
