Resurrection among best in the nation at serving its patients and community, according to healthcare think tank
(CHICAGO, IL) July 10, 2025 – Resurrection Medical Center, a member of Prime Healthcare, has earned “A” grades in seven areas on the Lown Institute’s 2025–26 Hospitals Index. Resurrection’s “A” rated categories are: Clinical Outcomes, Patient Outcomes, Social Responsibility, Pay Equity, Inclusivity, Cost Efficiency, and Value of Care. Out of more than 3,500 hospitals evaluated nationwide, Resurrection stands out for its commitment to delivering high-quality, equitable care.
“Hospitals are facing unprecedented political and financial challenges,” said Vikas Saini, MD, president of the Lown Institute. “In this uncertain environment, it’s more important than ever to support socially responsible hospitals that are delivering high-quality care to all in their community.”
“I’m proud of this team’s continuous efforts to deliver quality care for our patients, and it’s always welcomed when their hard work is recognized by respected institutions like the Lown Institute. Our team remains committed to continuously focusing on delivering safe, compassionate care to everyone we
serve,” said Luis Leon, Interim Chief Executive Officer at Resurrection Medical Center.
Resurrection received “A” grades in the following categories:
• Clinical Outcomes – how well the hospital keeps patients alive and prevents return trips
• Patient Outcomes – reflects a hospital’s performance for their patients’ health and care experience
• Social Responsibility – a hospital’s overall combined results of equity, value and outcomes
• Pay Equity – Executive pay ratio compared to non-clinical staff wages
• Inclusivity – Delivery of consistent service across income, race, and education levels
• Cost Efficiency – hospitals with lowest mortality and lowest costs compared to Medicare
• Value of Care – how well a hospital avoids unnecessary care and overspending, while achieving good patient and clinical outcomes
These latest honors follow another recent recognition for Resurrection for its quality and safety. The hospital earned an “A” grade for patient safety from The Leapfrog Group, based on over 30 measures of errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as the systems in place to prevent them. Together, these recognitions highlight a strong, sustained commitment to patient-centered, high-quality care.
The Lown Hospitals Index for Social Responsibility is the only ranking to combine metrics of health equity and value of care alongside patient outcomes, for more than 2,700 acute care and 800 critical access hospitals nationwide — offering a holistic view of hospitals as total community partners. In the sixth annual rankings, the 2025-26 Lown Index evaluates hospitals on over 50 measures including novel metrics such as community benefit, racial inclusivity, and avoidance of overuse. Data sources include Medicare fee-for-service and Medicare Advantage claims, CMS patient safety data and hospital cost
reports, and IRS 990 forms, among others.
