Healthgrades Names Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center a 2025 Patient Safety Excellence Award Recipient

FAIRLAWN, Ohio, March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center, a physician-owned hospital system, has received a 2025 Patient Safety Excellence Award from Healthgrades. This is the 13^th year in a row that Crystal Clinic has received this honor, which recognizes the health system's commitment to safe, patient-centered care and puts Crystal Clinic in the top 5% of hospitals nationwide for patient safety.

"As a Top Hospital in America, Crystal Clinic is dedicated to maintaining our nationally-renowned reputation and exceptional surgical outcomes for our patients," said Daniel Ferry, M.B.A., CHFP, President and Chief Executive Officer of Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center. "This recognition from Healthgrades is a testament to our amazing, world-class physicians and top-notch staff, who lead the way in achieving unparalleled patient outcomes and an outstanding, patient-centered experience. We are grateful to them and the entire Crystal Clinic team who dedicate themselves to this highest level of excellence."

To determine the top-performing hospitals for patient safety, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted complication and mortality rates for approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide. Healthgrades' analysis revealed significant performance gaps between the nation's highest- and lowest-achieving facilities, making it increasingly important for consumers to seek care at a hospital with top safety ratings. The annual study found that patients treated in hospitals that received the 2025 Patient Safety Excellence Award have a significantly lower chance of experiencing one of several leading safety indicators than patients treated at non-recipient hospitals.

"As a 2025 Patient Safety Excellence Award recipient, Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center consistently puts the well-being of their patients and staff at the forefront, setting a high standard for patient safety nationwide," said Debra Gradick, MD, FACEP, senior physician consultant at Healthgrades. "We commend Crystal Clinic for providing consistently exceptional care while preventing serious injuries, giving patients their best chance of a seamless recovery."
