100 Best Hospitals for Patient Experience in Hickory

DISCLOSURE Information

The Women’s Choice Award® identifies America’s Best Hospitals & healthcare facilities across our nation based on robust criteria that includes relevant clinical performance, patient satisfaction and appropriate accreditations to help women make smart healthcare choices. Being treated with the proper level of care impacts your health, well-being and healing, so our goal is to simplify your choice by identifying those hospitals that have demonstrated the highest level of quality care to their patients, with a special focus on the female experience.

Our methodology is 100% objective, replicable and uniform. There are no subjective considerations for any of our awards. In arriving at our award determinations, we use the most recent publicly available clinical data from The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) patient satisfaction survey results, relevant accreditation information from appropriate sources and the American Hospital Directory. The Best Children’s Hospitals are based on publicly available information on children’s hospitals across the nation. We arrived at the top children’s hospitals through a weighted point system looking at 4 different areas: Online Reviews, Clinical Success Score, Clinical Safety Score and finally, the extent of Services offered.
