RAPID CITY, S.D. – Monument Health Rapid City Hospital has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a high-performing hospital in five key areas of care.
The hospital earned the publication’s highest distinction for treatment of heart arrhythmia, heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure, and stroke.
U.S. News evaluated nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide, with fewer than half receiving a High Performing designation in any of the 37 procedures and conditions reviewed.
The rankings are based on factors including patient outcomes, preventable complications, and patient experience, drawing from more than 800 million patient care records.
Monument Health officials say the recognition reflects the work of the hospital’s physicians, nurses, and care teams, particularly in heart and stroke treatment.
U.S. News says the ratings are intended to help patients and health care providers make informed decisions about where to seek treatment for serious medical conditions and elective procedures.
