SCH-Hollywood Recognized Top Ten

 

Southern California Hospital at Hollywood has been recognized as one of the nation's Top Ten hospitals for social responsibility by the Lown Institute, a nonpartisan think tank that assessed more than 2,700 acute care hospitals nationwide. 

 

Lown reviewed hospitals across 54 metrics related to health equity, value of care and patient outcomes using publicly available data from CMS and the IRS for its analysis. The Lown social responsibility index (equity, value, outcomes) includes inclusivity, pay equity, community benefit, cost efficiency, avoiding overuse, clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction and patient safety. More than 100 U.S. hospitals achieved top performance across metrics of equity, value and outcomes.

 

Southern California Hospital at Hollywood has proven it provides consistent equitable, high-value care as demonstrated by its previous 2024 Lown recognition in the top 20.

 

"This prestigious recognition is affirmation of the positive impact our hospital has on the health and well-being of our patients," said Luis Angel, hospital administrator of Southern California Hospital at Hollywood. "We are committed to continuous quality improvement, value-based care, and serving the healthcare needs of our diverse community."
