Medical City Plano has once again been recognized among the nation’s top-performing hospitals, earning the Healthgrades® America’s 250 Best Hospitals Award™. This distinction places Collin County’s largest hospital in the top 5% of hospitals nationwide for overall clinical excellence.

Medical City Plano has been a Healthgrades Top 250 Best Hospital for the last four consecutive years. The acute care hospital is the only Level Trauma Center and the only Burn and Reconstructive Center in the county, known for comprehensive stroke care, leading-edge cardiovascular treatment and nationally recognized neurosciences. Medical City Plano also provides award winning cancer care and a variety of advanced specialties including a Level IV Maternal Center, Level IV NICU and complex gastrointestinal surgery.

“Receiving this recognition for four straight years reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional, evidence-based care in every action, every patient, every time,” says Ben Coogan, CEO of Medical City Plano. “This achievement is a testament to the dedication of our physicians, nurses and colleagues, whose dedication to system wide excellence and innovation drives everything we do.”

Healthgrades’ review shows a significant and widening difference in patient outcomes between the nation’s highest — and lowest-performing hospitals. Their analysis indicates that if all hospitals delivered care at the level of those recognized among America’s 250 Best, an estimated 211,370 additional lives could have been saved during the 2022–2024 study period. These results underscore how critical it is for patients to choose a hospital with a proven record of exceptional clinical performance.

“This year's America’s Best Hospitals list gives patients a clearer picture of where high-quality care is delivered most consistently,” says Alana Biggers, MD, medical advisor at Healthgrades. “Patients can feel confident in their decision to seek care at Medical City Plano, an organization that is setting the standard for clinical excellence nationwide.”

Medical City Arlington and Medical City Dallas were also named to the prestigious Healthgrades America’s Best Hospitals list. This year, 44 HCA Healthcare hospitals were recognized.
