Mary Washington Hospital Named America’s 100 Best
for Joint Replacement
New report identifies Mary Washington Hospital among the top hospitals
nationally for excellence in Joint Replacement
Fredericksburg, VA (July 10, 2019) – Mary Washington Hospital is one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for
Joint Replacement according to a national study by
Healthgrades, the leading online resource for comprehensive information about physicians
and hospitals. Every year, Healthgrades evaluates hospital performance
at almost 4,500 hospitals nationwide for 32 of the most common inpatient
procedures and conditions, as well as tracking outcomes in appendectomy
and bariatric surgery using all-payer data provided by 15 states and the
District of Columbia.*
The achievement is part of findings released in the
Healthgrades 2019 Report to the Nation. The new report demonstrates how clinical performance differs dramatically
between hospitals nationally, regionally and at the local level, and the
impact that this variation has on health outcomes. Additionally, from
2015 through 2017, patients treated at hospitals receiving the America’s
100 Best Hospitals for Joint Replacement Award have, on average, a 63
percent lower risk of experiencing a complication while in the hospital
than if they were treated in hospitals that did not receive the award.
And patients treated at hospitals that did not receive the award were
2.71 times more likely to experience a complication in the hospital than
if they were treated at hospitals that received the award.*
Mary Washington Hospital was also recognized for the following clinical
achievements:
- Joint Replacement Excellence Award™ for 3 years in a row (2017-2019)
- Five-Star Recipient for Total Knee Replacement for 3 years in a row (2017-2019)
- Five-Star Recipient for Total Hip Replacement for 4 years in a row (2016-2019)
- Five-Star Recipient for Back Surgery in 2019

Statistics are based on Healthgrades analysis of MedPAR data for years
2015 through 2017 and represent three-year estimates for Medicare patients only.
