On top of their game

Healthgrades named Leesburg Regional Medical Center as a five-star recipient for overall orthopedic services in 2013. Patients who receive care from a hospital receiving a five-star rating have a significantly lower risk of experiencing complications during a hospital stay.

“I am pleased by the Healthgrades study but not surprised,” says LRMC CEO Don Henderson. “Behind the scenes, the orthopedic physicians and clinical experts at LRMC have been working for years to bring the orthopedics department to the top tier in the nation. This award is recognition of their efforts and dedication.”

Healthgrades is the leading online resource for ratings and information about physicians and hospitals. Ratings are based on how well patients fared during their hospital stay in terms of mortality rates and preventable complications.
