Roxborough Memorial Hospital Recognized by Healthgrades for Five Consecutive Years of Excellence in Critical Care from Healthgrades

Hospital named a Five-Star Recipient for Treatment of Diabetic Hospitalizations

Philadelphia, PA (October 29, 2026) -Roxborough Memorial Hospital, a member of Prime Healthcare Foundation, today announced that it has once again been named a Five-Star Recipient for Treatment of Diabetic Hospitalizations by Healthgrades, the leading resource consumers use to search for a doctor or hospital. This marks the fifth year in a row - spanning 2023 through 2027 - that Roxborough Memorial has earned this distinction, a milestone that places the hospital among a select group of facilities nationwide with such a sustained track record in this area of critical care.

"Being recognized by Healthgrades for five consecutive years speaks directly to the consistency and dedication of our care teams," said Shawn Parekh, CEO of Roxborough Memorial Hospital. "Our physicians, nurses and support staff work every day to make sure patients managing diabetes-related complications receive timely, coordinated and evidence-based treatment. This award belongs to them, and it reflects the trust our Philadelphia community places in us to deliver that level of care, year after year."

Roxborough Memorial Hospital's achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. Unlike rankings based on surveys or reputation, Healthgrades evaluates hospital performance strictly on objective clinical outcomes-risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates-across more than 30 common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide.

The impact of choosing a high-performing hospital is significant. Healthgrades' 2027 analysis revealed that if all hospitals performed at the level of five-star rated facilities during the 2023-2025 study period, 227,229 lives could have been saved, and 158,138 complications could have been avoided.*

"Finding a hospital that excels in a given procedure, or treatment can transform a patient's health trajectory," said Alana Biggers, MD, MPH, medical advisor at Healthgrades. "We're proud to recognize Roxborough Memorial Hospital for its top-tier performance in diabetic hospitalization care and commend its team for delivering exceptional patient outcomes when it matters most."
