WEST READING, PA — Tower Health, a Pennsylvania-based health system, has once again earned the spotlight for its unwavering commitment to clinical quality. The health system has secured national recognition from Healthgrades, an online resource for comprehensive information about physicians and hospitals, for delivering high-quality patient care across various clinical specialty areas.
In particular, Reading Hospital, part of the Tower Health network, was recognized as one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Stroke Care for the second consecutive year. In addition to this prestigious accolade, the hospital also received the Joint Replacement Excellence Award™ and the Neuroscience Excellence Award™.
Reading Hospital further garnered Five-Star Distinctions for treatments spanning Heart Failure, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Pneumonia, Sepsis, Respiratory Failure, and Bowel Obstruction. The hospital also stood out for its excellence in Peripheral Vascular Bypass Surgery, Cranial Neurosurgery, Colorectal Surgery, and Vaginal Delivery.
Phoenixville Hospital and Pottstown Hospital, two other facilities within the Tower Health system, were also lauded for their clinical excellence. Phoenixville Hospital achieved a Five-Star rating for Colorectal Surgery, Vaginal Delivery, and C-Section Delivery. Meanwhile, Pottstown Hospital impressed with a Five-Star rating for the treatment of Heart Attack, Heart Failure, COPD, Sepsis, and Respiratory Failure, as well as Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery.
These recognitions underscore the quality of care provided by Tower Health, as Healthgrades’ evaluations are based solely on clinical outcomes such as risk-adjusted mortality and complications. According to Healthgrades, patients treated at hospitals among America’s 100 Best for Stroke Care have, on average, a 41.6% lower risk of dying than if treated in hospitals that did not receive the award.
Tower Health’s multiple recognitions may signal a strong operational model and commitment to patient outcomes, which could potentially translate into financial stability and growth. Hospitals that consistently deliver high-quality care often attract more patients, can negotiate better reimbursement rates with insurance providers, and tend to have lower costs associated with readmissions and complications.
The recognition from Healthgrades also enhances Tower Health’s reputation among patients and healthcare professionals, making it an attractive choice for those seeking care or employment. This could further strengthen its position and contribute to long-term success.
Ultimately, Tower Health’s recent accolades from Healthgrades highlight its dedication to clinical quality and patient-centered care. These recognitions could be a significant factor in attracting patients and top-tier healthcare professionals, providing a competitive edge that is crucial in today’s healthcare landscape.
