Jupiter Medical Center Achieves Highest Distinction as One of Healthgrades America's 50 Best Hospitals in 2013, Top 1% in Nation

February 19, 2013

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

JUPITER MEDICAL CENTER ACHIEVES HIGHEST DISTINCTION AS ONE OF
HEALTHGRADES AMERICA’S 50 BEST HOSPITALS IN 2013

JUPITER, Fla. (February 19, 2013) – Jupiter Medical Center announced today that it has once again been named one of the nation’s 50 Best hospitals. This distinction, which was achieved based on clinical performance over several years, places Jupiter Medical Center in the top one percent of hospitals nationwide, out of the nearly 4,500 hospitals evaluated.

Jupiter Medical Center achieved this distinction for three consecutive years - only one of seven in Florida and one of 35 in the nation to do so - an indication of the medical center’s commitment to quality. The ranking was announced by HealthGrades, the leading online resource that helps consumers search, evaluate, compare and connect with physicians and hospitals.

“Hospitals earn this distinction by providing better than expected outcomes across a broad spectrum of conditions and procedures and maintaining these superior results over an extended period of time,” said Evan Marks, EVP Informatics and Strategy. “As such, by selecting a hospital on the HealthGrades America’s 50 Best hospital list, consumers can expect a commitment to exceptional quality and clinical care that is amongst the best in the nation.”

“Our top recognitions show that Jupiter Medical Center is at the forefront of healthcare and proves that a committed medical staff, in partnership with a diligent Jupiter Medical Center team, results in great patient success,” said John D. Couris, President and CEO of Jupiter Medical Center. “While the award is impressive, the process we go through to achieve and maintain this distinction is what makes us world-class.”

Jupiter Medical Center is among the hospitals with the lowest risk-adjusted mortality rates providing patients in the West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Boynton Beach, Florida area with some of the best possible quality care.
