COLTON, California. – The county’s Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) was named a 2024-2025 Best Hospital by U.S. News & World Report and recognized as a High Performance Hospital.
This award recognizes outstanding performance in one or more areas of medical care. Of the more than 4,500 hospitals evaluated by US News, only 38% received even a single “High Performing” rating.
ARMC has been recognized for its treatment of kidney failure. A hospital’s kidney failure score is based on several categories of data, including patient survival, volume, nursing staff and time to discharge.
“We are incredibly honored to be named a Best Hospital for 2024 – 2025 by U.S. News & World Report,” said ARMC CEO Andrew Goldfrach of FACHE. “Recognition for our excellence in kidney failure treatment and maternal health underscores our mission to serve with compassion and excellence. We will continue to strive for the highest standards in all aspects of patient care.”
Over 6,000 hospitals were evaluated and eligible hospitals received one of three ratings – high performing (624 hospitals), average (2,217 hospitals) or below average (640 hospitals), with the remaining hospitals either not offering the service or performing too few of the procedures to be rated. Hospitals that received a high performance rating performed significantly better than the national average.
In April, ARMC was recognized by U.S. News & World Report for its success in supporting Black maternal health. ARMC is one of 26 hospitals nationwide that have achieved top outcomes for cesarean sections and unexpected neonatal complications for Black patients. In December, ARMC was also named one of the 2024 Best Hospitals for Obstetrics by U.S. News & World Report. Hospitals that receive a High Performing designation as part of Best Hospitals for Obstetrics meet a high standard of care for parents with uncomplicated pregnancies, among other criteria.
