- Hospitals receive Pulmonary Care Excellence Award™ and Gastrointestinal Care Excellence Award™
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Hospitals at Culver City and Hollywood have achieved numerous distinctions for exceptional clinical performance from Healthgrades, the #1 site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital. Southern California Hospitals new recognitions in 2026 include being named recipient of both Healthgrades Pulmonary Care Excellence Award™ and Healthgrades Gastrointestinal Care Excellence Award™, which places the hospitals among the Top 10% nationwide for both Overall Pulmonary and GI Services.
Southern California Hospitals were also five-star rated for ten services in cardiac, orthopedics, pulmonary, gastrointestinal and critical care including treatment of heart attack, heart failure, pacemaker procedures, hip fracture treatment, spinal fusion surgery, treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, GI bleed, sepsis, and diabetic hospitalizations.
"We are committed to providing our patients exceptional quality care," said Bruce Grimshaw, CEO Southern California Hospitals. "These recognitions are a testament of our staff's dedication to positive patient outcomes".
Southern California Hospital's achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. Each year, Healthgrades evaluates risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for over 30 common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide to identify the top hospitals in key specialty areas, including pulmonary care, orthopedics and sepsis. Through easy-to-understand, objective measures of hospital performance, Healthgrades empowers patients with the information they need to find a hospital that excels in their procedure or condition.
"These achievements affirm Southern California Hospitals status as a premier destination for specialty care and underscores the organization's longstanding commitment to excellence and quality," said Rhonda Jones-Barnes, Vice president of Quality.
As performance gaps persist between the nation's highest- and lowest-achieving facilities, seeking care at a top program has never been more important. Healthgrades' 2026 analysis revealed that if all hospitals, as a group, performed similarly to five-star hospitals during the 2022-2024 study period, on average, 230,466 lives could have been saved and 156,797 complications could have been avoided.*
"Healthgrades' specialty awards identify the nation's top-performing hospitals in key service areas, helping consumers find high quality care tailored to their specific needs," said Alana Biggers, MD, MPH, medical advisor at Healthgrades.
