rephrased article: **2026 Outstanding Patient Experience Awards Recognize Top Hospitals**We are proud to announce that several hospitals in our network have been recognized as recipients of the 2026 Outstanding Patient Experience Awards. These awards honor hospitals that excel at delivering top-quality care while ensuring a positive patient experience.
This year's winners represent the top 15% of hospitals nationwide for patient experience, with 373 hospitals from 46 states receiving this prestigious recognition. Texas leads the way with 31 award-winning hospitals, followed by Wisconsin (28), Pennsylvania (25), and California and Ohio (23 each).
Of these winners, only 16 hospitals have achieved triple distinction, earning awards for Outstanding Patient Experience, Patient Safety Excellence, and America's Best Hospitals. Meanwhile, 80 hospitals have been recognized as dual recipients, earning both the Outstanding Patient Experience Award and the Patient Safety Excellence Award.
"Better patient experiences are correlated with better health outcomes," says Alana Biggers, MPH, medical advisor at Healthgrades. "We believe that patients should always consider patient experience when searching for care."
**How Awards Like These Can Help Patients Make Better Decisions**These awards can provide valuable insights to help individuals and families make informed decisions about their healthcare. By considering multiple factors, including patient experience scores, patients can choose hospitals that prioritize high-quality, patient-centered care.
**Evaluating Hospitals for Patient Experience**To determine the recipients of the 2026 Outstanding Patient Experience Awards, Healthgrades analyzed Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey data. The surveys cover multiple aspects of hospital experience, including communication with doctors and nurses, staff responsiveness, discharge information, room cleanliness, and hospital quietness.
Hospitals were required to submit at least 100 surveys to be considered for the awards. Healthgrades evaluated hospitals across 10 patient experience measures to identify facilities with the highest overall patient experience scores nationwide.
**Making Informed Decisions About Your Care**While awards like these recognize hospitals for high-quality performance, they can also help patients make more informed choices about where they receive care. By considering multiple factors and using resources like the Outstanding Patient Experience Awards, you can choose a hospital that prioritizes your needs and provides exceptional care.
