FirstHealth Moore Regional named to national top hospitals list

By Staff Report, posted 3 years ago

Among the Fortune/Merative 100 Top Hospitals list is FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital list for the second consecutive year. 

Moore Regional is the only hospital in the state to make the list. 

“The recognition includes Moore Regional Hospital – Hoke in Raeford and Moore Regional Hospital – Richmond in Rockingham as divisions of Moore Regional,” a press release said. 

“Once again, we are thrilled to be included in the 100 Top Hospitals list,” FirstHealth CEO Mickey W. Foster said.

“Our medical staff and employees have worked tirelessly the last two years to take on the pandemic head on and ensure that we continue to provide excellent care to our patients and support to their families.”

Hospitals that made the cut were chosen based on how they held up in light of pandemic stresses, “achieving better results than peer institutions on key performance indicators measuring clinical outcomes, operational efficiency, patient experience and financial health,” the press release said. “The Top Hospitals list also considers an organization’s contributions to its community and equity of care.” 

The medical institutions that made the list were selected out of 2,650 hospitals across the united states that Fortune/Merative evaluated. Merative’s analysis found that 100,000 patient deaths could be prevented if all hospitals performed like those in the top 100. Moreover, 55,000 patients could be prevented from having complications and $12.5 billion dollars in spending on in-patient care could be prevented. 

Moore Regional has received comparable designations in the past as one of the nation’s top hospitals in 1995, 2003, 2004, 2016, 2017 and 2021.

“Being recognized for the care we provide means a great deal, and it reinforces the commitment we have to serve people in the Sandhills,” Foster said. “We are thankful to our communities for putting their faith in us.”
