U.S. News & World Report recognized Decatur Memorial Hospital for high-quality care in its annual ranking of hospitals nationwide.
DMH received special recognition for cancer treatment, specifically for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma, as well as knee replacement procedures.
“We’re very proud of the care we offer our community,” said Tanya Andricks, DMH president and CEO. “This recognition by U.S. News & World Report reinforces the work we do and highlights how our efforts to provide the safest, highest-quality care are paying off with improved outcomes for patients and their families.”
Springfield Memorial Hospital, which like DMH is part of Springfield-based Memorial Health, was also recognized by U.S. News and World Report this year. The publication ranked SMH 21st among the 213 hospitals in Illinois, with special recognition in nine types of care.
“This recognition is the result of hard work by teams across our organization to improve patient outcomes and ensure positive experiences for the people we serve,” said Drew Early, Memorial Health senior vice president and chief operating officer. “Our talented, caring colleagues are truly making a difference in our patients’ lives and the well-being of our communities.”
