Wabash General Hospital has once again been recognized by Healthgrades, the nation's leading resource for information about physicians and hospitals. Wabash General Hospital has earned a Five-Star Rating for Hip Fracture Treatment for the ninth consecutive year, demonstrating the hospital's ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional orthopedic care and positive patient outcomes.
This achievement places Wabash General Hospital among a select group of hospitals nationwide recognized for consistently providing high-quality care for patients suffering hip fractures, a condition that often requires timely intervention, specialized treatment, and comprehensive rehabilitation.
Wabash General Hospital's achievement is based solely on patient outcomes. Unlike rankings that incorporate surveys or reputation scores, Healthgrades evaluates hospital performance using objective clinical measures, including risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates, across many common conditions and procedures at hospitals nationwide.
The impact of choosing a high-performing hospital is significant. Healthgrades' 2027 analysis found that if all hospitals performed at the level of five-star rated facilities during the 2023- 2025 study period, 227,229 lives could have been saved and 158,138 complications could have been avoided.
