Memorial Satilla Health has achieved numerous accolades for clinical excellence from Healthgrades, the #1 site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital. Among Memorial Satilla’s distinctions are two Five-Star Ratings, placing the hospital among the nation’s top 10% for pacemaker procedures and treatment of hip fractures.
These five-star ratings reflect Memorial Satilla’s commitment to consistently delivering the best care possible and places the organization in the upper echelon of hospitals for specialty care nationwide.
“I am proud to announce our achievement of these five-star quality ratings. This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence in patient care, safety, and overall healthcare delivery. We remain dedicated to providing the highest standard of service to our community, and this distinction is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our exceptional healthcare team. We will continue to strive for excellence and prioritize the well-being of our patients in every aspect of our operations,” said Dale Neely, CEO.
Memorial Satilla’s achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. As part of its 2025 hospital assessment, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for over 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide to determine the top performers in specialty care. By offering easy access to objective performance measures, Healthgrades helps consumers find and select a hospital that excels in providing the care they need.
As variation in performance among hospitals continues to grow, it is increasingly important for consumers to seek care at top-rated programs. Healthgrades’ 2025 analysis revealed that if all hospitals as a group performed similarly to five-star hospitals during the 2021-2023 study period, on average, 224,958 lives could potentially have been saved and 141,692 complications could potentially have been avoided.*
“Healthgrades commends Memorial Satilla Health for their clear commitment to delivering consistently superior patient outcomes in critical service areas, including pacemaker procedures and hip fracture treatment,” said Brad Bowman, MD, chief medical officer and head of data science at Healthgrades. “Memorial Satilla’s leadership, expertise, and unwavering dedication to clinical excellence set a high mark for specialty care in Georgia and nationwide.”
