Lankenau Medical Center and Riddle Hospital have been named to Healthgrades' America's 50 Best Hospitals list for 2026, placing both facilities among the top 1% of U.S. hospitals for clinical excellence. Lankenau Medical Center and Riddle Hospital have been recognized as 50 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades for three years in a row.
Each year, Healthgrades evaluates nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide across more than 30 common conditions and procedures using risk-adjusted mortality and complication data. Hospitals that demonstrate superior clinical outcomes earn placement on the annual best hospitals lists, with the top 50 representing the highest level of overall quality and patient care in the country.
Hospitals that earn a top 50 ranking from Healthgrades have statistically better outcomes in key clinical areas, including lower rates of mortality and serious complications, based solely on outcomes data. For patients and families, this recognition provides an independent marker of trust and performance when choosing care.
This national distinction highlights the dedication of clinicians, nurses, caregivers and support colleagues whose efforts have a direct impact on patient safety, recovery and experience. Being recognized on this list places both hospitals in the top 1% of all U.S. hospitals, an honor that fewer than 50 hospitals nationwide achieve each year.
Being named among the 50 best hospitals underscores the deep commitment to safe, high-quality and results-driven care the teams at Lankenau Medical Center and Riddle Hospital deliver every day.
