Beebe ranks among top regional hospitals

Beebe Healthcare has maintained its status as a top Delaware hospital, according to the recently released U.S. News & World Report Best Hospital rankings. Beebe was one of 466 hospitals across the nation to earn a Best Regional Hospital designation and the only one in Southern Delaware.

Driving the regional ranking were seven high-performing specialty areas for procedures and conditions, including COPD, colon cancer surgery, heart attack, hip replacement, knee replacement, lung cancer surgery and pneumonia. This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn in these ratings.

In 11 other care areas, Beebe met the national standard of 5,000-plus hospitals that were evaluated across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions. Not all hospitals are eligible for evaluation in all areas.

“We are very pleased to have maintained our status as one of Delaware’s best hospitals by being recognized as high performing or at the national standard in many areas that are core to being a modern, community nonprofit healthcare system,” said Dr. David A. Tam, Beebe president and CEO. “It’s a testament to our commitment to compassionate care led by our doctors, nurses, advanced practice clinicians, clinical staff and many others who are laser-focused on quality and safety.”
