Mother Frances Named One of Nation’s Top Hospitals

TYLER – Mother Frances Hospital-Tyler was named one of the nation’s 100 Top Hospitals by Thomson Reuters. Mother Frances officials say Thomson Reuters is a leading provider of information and solutions to improve the cost and quality of health care. The study evaluates performance in several areas. Those include mortality; medical complications; patient safety; average patient stay; patient satisfaction; adherence to clinical standards of care; post-discharge mortality; and readmission rates for heart attack, heart failure and pneumonia. Hospitals do not apply, and winners do not pay to market this honor.

Mother Frances has been designated a 100 Top Hospital four times and is one of only four hospitals in Texas — and the only hospital in East Texas — to receive the recognition this year. “Our patients deserve this level of health care and I am proud of every Trinity Mother Frances employee for their dedication and focus that keeps Mother Frances Hospital an award-winning medical destination,” said Ray Thompson, FACHE, the hospital’s chief executive officer.
