Your Voice Matters in the U.S. News & World Report Rankings

By Roberto Colon, MD, system vice-president, chief medical officer and Darin Pangalangan, MD, system vice president service lines, chief clinical officer

We want to share some important information regarding the upcoming U.S. News & World Report peer reputation survey, a factor in how hospitals perform in the annual U.S. News Best Hospital rankings.

Historically, Miami Valley Hospital has been honored by U.S. News & World Report nationally and regionally for clinical quality and specialty care, reflecting the strength of our physicians and care teams. These rankings reflect your expertise, innovation, and dedication, and are a key factor when patients choose a health care provider. Our goal is for Miami Valley Hospital to be ranked by U.S. News among the top hospitals in Ohio by 2030.

We’ll reach this milestone through strong quality outcomes, care-related indicators, patient experience – and reputation. Reputation is where the annual physician survey comes in. We encourage eligible physicians to complete the survey, and to thoughtfully consider Miami Valley Hospital’s capabilities when doing so. This will ensure that our clinical excellence is accurately reflected in the rankings.

The survey will be sent by Doximity via email in mid-February through March. You may also log into your Doximity account to seek out the survey link during this time period.
