“We’re proud to have earned multiple five-star accolades from Healthgrades for many of our health services,” said PVHMC President and CEO Richard E. Yochum, FACHE. “Our doctors, nurses and staff are committed to excellence in patient care and these awards exemplify their dedication to best practices and providing the highest quality of care.”

PVHMC’s achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. As part of its 2025 hospital assessment, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for more than 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide to determine the top performers in specialty care. By offering easy access to objective performance measures, Healthgrades helps consumers find and select a hospital that excels in providing the care they need.

As variation in performance among hospitals continues to grow, it is increasingly important for consumers to seek care at top-rated programs. Healthgrades’ 2025 analysis revealed that if all hospitals performed similarly to five-star hospitals during the 2021-2023 study period, an average of 224,958 lives could potentially have been saved, and 141,692 complications could potentially have been avoided.
