“It’s a big achievement to be the only hospitals recognized in Alaska and Louisiana,” said Dr. Paul Cordts, DHA’s Deputy Assistant Director for Medical Affairs and Chief Medical Officer. “It shows that the Military Health System can deliver excellent care, even in rural and remote areas.”

How is this measured?

Leapfrog Group uses infection rates, surgery results, and patient satisfaction in its Top Hospital ratings. Reaching these high standards takes teamwork, focus, and a strong commitment to safety and quality.

“This honor is a result of the hard work of our teams to keep patients safe and healthy,” Cordts said. “Our staff and providers strive every day to deliver the best care possible.”
