Inova Mount Vernon Hospital ranked 8th out of 56 Washington D.C.-area hospitals in U.S. News & World Report’s 2017-2018 hospital rankings, which were released last week.
Two other hospitals — Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring and Suburban Hospital in Bethesda — tied with Inova Mount Vernon for the eighth spot in the D.C. area. Medstar George Washington Hospital ranked No. 1 overall on the list of D.C. hospitals.
“[The] U.S. News & World Report announcement is a reflection of the hard work and commitment of so many people at Inova Mount Vernon Hospital,” Don Brideau, MD, Inova Mount Vernon’s CEO, said in a statement. “Our continued pursuit of high-quality and high-reliability translates into the safe, effective and respectful care that we deliver.”
Inova Fairfax (No. 3) and Inova Fair Oaks (No. 6) also made the top 10 in the D.C. area rankings.
Inova Mount Vernon, which has 237 beds and employs 363 doctors and 229 nurses, was also judged to be the 18th-best hospital overall in Virginia.
U.S. News & World Report compiled its rankings by looking at data for more than 4,500 medical centers nationwide in 25 specialties, procedures and conditions. More information about the methodology can be viewed here.
The praise for Inova Mount Vernon comes on the heels of the hospital receiving high marks for safety in two national surveys released in April.
Must be based entirely on their orthopedic wing. The rest is a joke.
This article has a mistake. The #1 ranked hospital is Medstar Georgetown University Hospital, not George Washington.
