Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton Repeats Among ‘100 Great Community Hospitals’
Wednesday, July 26, 2017
Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton has earned a place among the nation’s top community hospitals for the second consecutive year.
Becker's Hospital Review has named Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton to its list of the nation’s "100 Great Community Hospitals," a list based on community hospitals' accolades, quality and service to their communities.
Only three other hospitals across Alabama and Georgia made the list: Gordon Hospital in Calhoun; WellStar West Georgia Medical Center in LaGrange; and Russell Medical Center in Alexander City, Ala.
Becker's defined community hospitals as acute care facilities with fewer than 550 beds. The list included independent community hospitals as well as facilities affiliated with large health systems.
Some of the hospitals on Becker’s list serve expansive rural geographies while others care for small communities outside of large metropolitan cities. Many of the hospitals have been recognized for their clinical quality, operational excellence and economic impact on the surrounding area.
“Being named by Becker’s, the healthcare industry’s leading magazine for hospital business news and analysis, to this list is another remarkable accomplishment for Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton,” said Loy Howard, president and CEO of Tanner Health System. “Everyone in west Georgia and east Alabama can rest assured that an unparalleled level of care is available close to home at their community hospital.”
