Congratulations to Kettering and Sycamore medical centers, who were recently named 100 Top Hospitals in the nation by Truven Health Analytics. With nearly 3,000 hospitals evaluated for the honor, these network facilities are the only hospitals in the Dayton area to be in the top 100.
Kettering has received the distinction a total of 12 times and Sycamore has been included seven times.
“This is a great honor,” says Jarrod McNaughton, president of Kettering Medical Center. “For Kettering to receive it 12 times is unequivocally amazing! Our designation as one of the best hospitals in the country is the result of collaborative teamwork and focused strategies to deliver quality care.”
“Once again, we are proud to be recognized as a 100 Top Hospital,” says Walter Sackett, president of Sycamore Medical Center. “At Sycamore, providing safe, compassionate, exceptional care is our top priority.”
The study shows that if all hospitals in the U.S. performed at the level of Kettering, Sycamore, and the other winning hospitals:
- nearly 104,000 additional lives could be saved
- nearly 48,400 additional patients could be complication free
- nearly $2 billion in inpatient costs could be saved
- nearly 245,000 fewer discharged patients could be readmitted within 30 days
