Physician Hospitals of America Praises Consumer Reports’ Ranking of Physician-Owned Hospitals as #1 in 19 States

Physician-owned and –operated hospitals were consistently ranked among the best in the country, according to a recent Consumer Reports survey, but are still under increased scrutiny in the healthcare reform debate by some members of Congress, according to a news release from the Physician Hospitals of America.

The Consumer Reports study polled 1 million patients across the country, and physician-owned hospitals were ranked #1 in 19 states, which is significant as 20 states do not have any physician-owned hospitals, according to the report. In 20 states, at least one physician-owned hospital was listed among the top five in the state.

Molly Sandvig, executive director of PHA, says, “This survey should have a significant impact on anyone seriously considering patient satisfaction and quality care as true concerns in healthcare. It is neither logical nor acceptable for Congress to do away with a healthcare option that citizens have consistently said they prefer.”
