Becker's Honors USC Arcadia Hospital as One of America's Best

Becker’s Hospital Review has selected USC Arcadia Hospital for its 2023 list of 153 “Great community hospitals” from across the country.

The prestigious selections were based on several outside rankings and ratings organizations, including U.S. News & World Report, Healthgrades, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, The Leapfrog Group and The Chartis Center for Rural Health. Becker’s Hospital Review is the leading hospital magazine for hospital business news and analysis for hospital and healthcare system executives nationwide.

“Community hospitals are vital pieces of the overall healthcare system, expanding care access to patients who might otherwise need to travel great distances or face other barriers to care,” the publication’s announcement stated. “These community hospitals are lauded for their clinical excellence, compassionate care and economic impact on their communities.”
