Congratulation to St. Joseph Regional Medical Center for being named one of the nation's top 15 health systems.
St. Joe was also awarded top 5 for small health systems, which compares hospitals with less than $750 million in operating expenses.
The honor comes from Thomas Reuters, which analyzed more than 300 health systems saying the top 15 have better survival rates, fewer patient complications, and better long term outcomes.
President and CEO Al Gutierrez says the recognition is, "A testament to our strong culture of quality and safety and our unwavering commitment to efficiency in healthcare."
