Mayo Clinic hospitals in Arizona, Florida, Rochester and Mankato were named in the top 1% of hospitals nationwide for overall clinical performance.

Mayo Clinic hospitals in Arizona, Florida, Rochester, Minnesota, and Mayo Clinic Health System in Mankato, Minnesota, were named among America's 50 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades, an independent healthcare ratings company. In addition, Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire and La Crosse, Wisconsin, were included in the Healthgrades 100 Best Hospitals list. Notably, the La Crosse location is a new addition to the list this year.

The rankings were published on Jan. 28.

Healthgrades ranked the performance of nearly 4,500 U.S. hospitals in overall clinical excellence across a broad spectrum of conditions and procedures. The rankings are intended to help consumers evaluate and compare hospital performance and evaluate hospitals for overall clinical excellence.

The top 1% of these hospitals made the 50 Best Hospitals list. Hospitals on the 100 Best Hospitals list are among the top 2% in the nation for consistent clinical quality.

"These results are a testament to staff's commitment to our shared vision, mission and primary value," says Dr. Sean Dowdy, chief value officer at Mayo Clinic. "This commitment resonates with both patients and the public, and these results reinforce what our patients consistently express — that Mayo provides a standard of care that surpasses any other healthcare organization."

For its rankings, Healthgrades analyzes patient outcome data on more than 45 million records of Medicare medical claims. Other select data include patient survey data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and patient outcome data for all patients from states that make their data available. Numerous agencies assess healthcare quality, yet Mayo Clinic remains the only organization consistently ranked among the world's top providers, regardless of the quality measure applied.
