Hospitals Serving Northridge-Chatsworth Ranked Among Best In Nation

LOS ANGELES, CA — Five hospitals in Los Angeles County are among the 50 best in the nation, according to new rankings Tuesday from Healthgrades, an online physician and hospital locator. Among the top 250 hospitals in the nation are two serving residents in the Northridge and Chatsworth areas including Providence Holy Cross Medical Center in Mission Hills and West Hills Hospital & Medical Center.

Healthgrades evaluated 4,500 hospitals across more than 30 common procedures and conditions to determine the 250 that received 2024 America’s Best Hospitals Awards.

Five LA County hospitals ranked among the top 50 in the U.S.:

• Cedars - Sinai Medical Center
• Northridge Hospital Medical Center
• Providence Holy Cross Medical Center — Mission Hills
• Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center
• UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center

Additionally, Adventist Health Glendale and West Hills Hospital & Medical Center ranked among the top 250 hospitals in the country.

In total, 32 California hospitals made the top-250 list.

Healthgrades said in a news release that it used data-driven, clinically validated methodology that focuses solely on patient outcomes to determine the rankings.

“Hospital quality is a crucial, yet often overlooked, factor to consider when choosing a doctor,” Healthgrades’ chief medical officer and head of data science Dr. Brad Bowman said in the release.

Healthgrades said a recent survey showed 76 percent of consumers would only choose hospitals with high-quality rankings for their condition or procedure, and nearly two-thirds (63 percent) are more likely to choose a hospital that received a quality award when deciding between two hospitals before scheduling a procedure.
