Northern ranked among top community hospitals in nation

Northern Regional Hospital has been recognized as one of the ‘Great Community Hospitals’ by Becker’s Hospital Review, a medical industry trade magazine. This year’s list, featuring 100 community hospitals nationwide, includes Northern Regional Hospital as one of only two in North Carolina to achieve this honor.

Becker’s selects hospitals for inclusion on its annual “Great Community Hospitals” list based on several independent national ranking and rating agencies that recognize community hospitals for several key attributes, including clinical excellence, compassionate care, patient safety, and economic impact. Anna Falvey, a representative of Becker’s Hospital Review, stated, “The Becker’s Editorial team selected these 100 hospitals based on ratings by outside organizations such as U.S. News & World Report, Healthgrades, CMS, and The Chartis Center for Rural Health.”

“In reaffirming Northern Regional Hospital’s status as one of the Great Community Hospitals in America, we continue to celebrate the unwavering dedication and commitment of our exceptional team of doctors, nurses, support staff, and volunteers. Their devotion to provide high-quality, safe, and compassionate care remains our utmost priority,” stated Chris A. Lumsden, FACHE, president and chief executive officer of Northern Regional Hospital. “Our ongoing investment in the growth and development of our people, services, and community reflects our commitment to the mission and core values of Northern. We remain grateful for this privilege and are honored to be named a Top 100 Community Hospital.”
