Sanford USD Medical Center and Sanford Bismarck Medical Center received recognition from Newsweek as part of their Best Hospitals 2024 rankings. The annual list recognizes the institutions that have achieved the highest reputations by delivering quality care with outstanding results.
Sanford USD Medical Center is the only hospital in South Dakota to be named to the following lists:
- America’s Best Cardiac Hospitals
- America’s Best Children’s Hospitals
- America’s Best Neurological Hospitals
The medical center was also recognized in two other categories, earning a spot on the list for:
- America’s Best Cancer Hospitals
- Pediatric Endocrinology
“Being recognized as one of the best in the country in these services is a true testament to the talented and dedicated team of caregivers we have at Sanford Health,” said Paul Hanson, president and CEO of Sanford Health in Sioux Falls. “As our region continues to grow, we are recruiting additional providers, nurses and caretakers in several areas throughout our medical center to ensure we continue meeting the community’s health care needs. Patient care is at the heart of what we do every day. Our commitment to the communities we serve is unmatched, and I’m proud to walk alongside the great family of caregivers we have at Sanford Health.”
How they rank the best hospitals
Sanford Bismarck Medical Center also has been named to Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Cardiac Hospitals 2024.
“It is an honor to be recognized as one of the best cardiac hospitals in America. This award highlights the amazing work our cardiac team does every day for our patients,” said Todd Schaffer, M.D., president and CEO of Sanford Bismarck. “We are proud to have performed the first Watchman FLX Pro case in North Dakota and to be the first across the Sanford footprint to use the Wattson wire for TAVR cases. Our team’s dedication to advancing cardiac care and improving patient outcomes is truly inspiring.”
Rankings are based on three pillars:
- Nationwide online survey: Health care professionals and hospital managers with knowledge about specialty processes (e.g., neonatal and perinatal doctors, nurses and midwives were asked to recommend leading maternity hospitals in the U.S.).
- Patient experience survey: Survey of the overall patient experience in the hospital.
- Hospital quality metrics: Indicators relevant to care provided for specific services were considered.
Earlier this year, Sanford USD Medical Center was recognized as the No. 1 hospital in South Dakota by U.S. News & World Report and was named to Newsweek’s America’s Best Maternity Hospitals 2024 list.
