Adventist Health Portland Among Best Hospitals as High Performing in Heart Care

Adventist Health Portland has been named by U.S. News & World Report to its 2024–2025 Best Hospitals as a High Performing hospital for heart failure and heart attack — the highest distinction from U.S. News.

The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their health care providers in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.

“We’re proud to provide high-quality care to our community, especially in these key areas,” says Dr. Wes Rippey, area medical officer for Adventist Health. “I’m so thankful to our teams who show up every day and provide care not only from the heart — but to the highest standards as well.”

U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.

“For 35 years, U.S. News has been a leading resource for patients navigating their health care decisions,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “The ‘High Performing’ designation acknowledges hospitals that consistently deliver high-quality care for specific medical procedures and conditions. This recognition highlights their expertise and commitment to patient well-being.”
