Becker's Hospital Review, a monthly publication offering up-to-date business and legal news and analysis relating to hospitals and health systems, has named Mercy Medical Center to its 2015 list of “100 Great Hospitals in America.”

According to information released by Becker’s Hospital Review, hospitals included on the list are “home to many medical and scientific breakthroughs, provide best-in-class patient care and are stalwarts of their communities, serving as research hubs or local anchors of wellness”. To develop the list, Becker's Hospital Review's editorial team conducted research and evaluated reputable hospital ranking sources, such as U.S. News & World Report, Truven Health Analytics, Healthgrades, Magnet designation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, The Leapfrog Group and several other resources. 

The final result is a group of 100 hospitals that are “leaders in their region, their state and the nation in terms of high-quality patient care.”

Each issue of Becker's Hospital Review reaches more than 18,000 people, primarily acute-care hospital CEOs, CFOs and CIOs. A version of this “Great Hospitals in America” list has been published each year since 2011.
