(CINCINNATI; June 20, 2016) – Mercy Health, a Catholic healthcare system serving Ohio and Kentucky, today announced that Becker’s Hospital Review has named Mercy Health – Clermont Hospital and Mercy Health -- Fairfield Hospital in its Cincinnati region and Mercy Health – Defiance Hospital in its Toledo region to the 2016 list of 100 Great Community Hospitals. Clermont and Fairfield were the only two Cincinnati-area hospitals to make the list.
The Becker's editorial team selected hospitals for inclusion based on rankings and awards from organizations including iVantage Health Analytics, Truven Health Analytics, Healthgrades, CareChex, the American Nurses Credentialing Center and the Leapfrog Group. Hospitals on the list have earned recognition from one or more of these organizations.
Becker's has published a version of this list annually since 2011. This is the fifth year the list has included 100 hospitals. For the purposes of this list, Becker's defines a "community hospital" as one with fewer than 550 beds that have minimal teaching programs.
The hospitals on this list are spread across the country, some not far from major metro areas and some in rural communities. Regardless of location or whether they are affiliated with a major system, these hospitals are vital parts of their respective communities.
