2008 Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence

Premier Health Partners is honored that two pillars of the Dayton healthcare community—Miami Valley Hospital and Good Samaritan Hospital (closed in 2018)—have earned the HealthGrades 2008 Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence. Please take a moment to learn more about this prestigious award, and what this award means for our patients.

Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence

Each year, HealthGrades, the nation’s leading healthcare ratings company, independently reviews tens of millions of hospitalization records to determine the top-notch healthcare institutions in the country. HealthGrades analyzes the clinical quality performance of all non-federal hospitals across the country in 27 procedures and diagnoses. Hospitals that receive the HealthGrades Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence rank in the top five percent when all 27 individual scores are aggregated into a comprehensive score.

Providing Healthcare Excellence to Our Patients

Miami Valley Hospital and Good Samaritan Hospital are committed to providing the best possible care to the Dayton community. The 2008 HealthGrades award marks the second consecutive year Miami Valley has received the Distinguished Hospital honor. Good Samaritan has been recognized by HealthGrades as a distinguished hospital twice in the past four years.

This award translates into more saved lives at our hospitals. HealthGrades estimates that on a national level, 171,424 lives could have been saved over a three-year period and 9,671 post-operative complications could have been avoided if all Medicare patients were treated at Distinguished Hospitals for Clinical Excellence. Miami Valley and Good Samaritan are proud to be included in the top five percent in the nation for excellent patient outcomes.

Take a moment to hear what our senior leadership and medical staff has to say about winning this prestigious award. It’s an achievement that is celebrated by the entire Miami Valley and Good Samaritan team, from physicians and nurses to support staff. We are all committed to getting our patients healthy and back to their daily lives.
