“Excellent patient outcomes are what matter most to us,” said Elizabeth Mikula, HCA Healthcare Capital Division vice president of quality. “These rankings reflect our commitment to providing high-quality specialty care throughout the state. We are proud of all of our HCA Virginia Health System hospitals that are setting the standard in surgical care, joint replacement, and more.”

Healthgrades evaluates hospitals solely on patient outcomes to determine the top-performing hospitals for specialty care in each of the 32 states assessed. Healthgrades’ 2024 analysis revealed that patients who seek care at a hospital with rankings in their condition or procedure have a better chance of a good outcome than if they were treated at a facility that is not among the top five in Virginia. This widening performance gap highlights the importance of selecting a top-rated program.
