Lourdes Health announced today it has achieved numerous five-star ratings for specialty care, according to new research released by Healthgrades, the #1 site consumers use to find a hospital or doctor. Lourdes Health was rated five stars for Treatment of Stroke for two years in a row (2024-2025).

These achievements reflect Lourdes Health’s commitment to consistently delivering the best care possible and place the organization in the upper echelon of hospitals for specialty care nationwide.

Lourdes Health’s achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. As part of its 2025 hospital assessment, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for over 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide to determine the top performers in specialty care. By offering easy access to objective performance measures, Healthgrades helps consumers find and select a hospital that excels in providing the care they need.

As variation in performance among hospitals continues to grow, it is increasingly important for consumers to seek care at top-rated programs. Healthgrades’ 2025 analysis revealed that if all hospitals as a group performed similarly to five-star hospitals during the 2021-2023 study period, on average, 224,958 lives could potentially have been saved and 141,692 complications could potentially have been avoided.*

“Healthgrades commends Lourdes Health for their clear commitment to delivering consistently superior patient outcomes in critical service areas, including Treatment of Stroke,” said Brad Bowman, MD, chief medical officer and head of data science at Healthgrades. Lourdes Health’s leadership, expertise, and unwavering dedication to clinical excellence set a high mark for specialty care in Washington State and nationwide.”
