LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (April 4, 2017) -- CHI St. Vincent Infirmary has again been named as one of the “100 Great Hospitals in America,” in an annual listing compiled by Becker’s Hospital Review. CHI St. Vincent Infirmary is the only Arkansas hospital to be listed in 2017.

The hospitals named to the list are selected based on their leadership in medical innovation, superior patient care and high-quality clinical research.

“It’s an honor to be listed among the 100 great hospitals in America, and I believe that recognition is largely due to the service and dedication of the medical professionals who help us carry out our mission,” said Chad Aduddell, CEO of CHI St. Vincent. “At CHI St. Vincent, we are blessed to serve this community and are committed to providing excellent and compassionate care.”  

The editorial board at Becker’s Hospital Review analyzed several ranking and award agencies in compiling the list, including U.S. News and World Report's 2016-17 Honor Roll and specialty rankings, CMS star ratings, Leapfrog grades, Truven Health Analytics top hospitals, Most Wired hospitals and Magnet accreditation.

In 2016, CHI St. Vincent Infirmary was named the No. 1 hospital in Arkansas by U.S. News and World Report.

This year marks the third consecutive year that CHI St. Vincent Infirmary has been named to the “100 Great Hospitals in America” list.
