Healthgrades published its “Specialty Excellence 2027 Awards,” recognizing hospitals for their patient outcomes across 19 specialties, including gastrointestinal surgery.
Texas has 14 hospitals included in the list, the most of any state. Florida has 12 hospitals on the list, followed by Pennsylvania with 11 hospitals.
The awards measure hospitals’ performance using Medicare inpatient data from 2023 to 2025 for 31 conditions and procedures. To be ranked, a hospital must have no one-star ratings and at least one five-star rating in the cohort being measured. Read more on the methodology here.
