HCA Florida Aventura Hospital has been recognized as a 2025 Patient Safety Excellence Award™ recipient by Healthgrades, the #1 site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital. This achievement reflects HCA Florida Aventura Hospital’s clear commitment to safe, patient-centered care and puts the organization in the top 5% of hospitals nationwide for patient safety for the third year in a row.
In addition to this recognition for patient safety, HCA Florida Aventura Hospital was recently named one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for overall clinical care and the recipient of numerous accolades based on its exceptional performance in key service areas, including America’s 50 Best Hospitals for Surgical Care, America’s 50 Best Hospitals for Vascular Surgery, and America’s 100 Best Hospitals for coronary intervention, orthopedic surgery, spine surgery, stroke care, prostate surgeries, gastrointestinal care and critical care. These achievements further underscore the organization’s commitment to delivering compassionate, individualized care at every step of the patient journey.
“HCA Florida Aventura Hospital’s commitment to patient safety drives our delivery of excellent patient outcomes. Being recognized by Healthgrades with the 2025 Patient Safety Excellence Award reflects our long-term successes in key areas of patient safety, including infection control, pressure ulcer and fall prevention, and safe surgical practices“, shared Trish Stephens, MD, the hospital’s Chief Medical Officer.
HCA Florida Aventura Hospital’s achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. To determine the top-performing hospitals for patient safety, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted complication and mortality rates for approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide. Healthgrades’ analysis revealed significant performance gaps between the nation’s highest- and lowest-achieving facilities, making it increasingly important for consumers to seek care at a hospital with top safety ratings. From 2021-2023, 173,280 preventable safety events occurred among Medicare patients in U.S. hospitals, with four patient safety indicators accounting for nearly 76% of these incidents.*
The annual study found that patients treated in hospitals that received the 2025 Patient Safety Excellence Award have a significantly lower chance of experiencing one of the four leading safety indicators than patients treated at non-recipient hospitals:
● In-hospital falls resulting in fracture (54% less likely)
● Collapsed lung due to a procedure or surgery in or around the chest (approximately 55% less likely)
● Pressure sores or bed sores acquired in the hospital (approximately 69% less likely)
● Catheter-related bloodstream infections acquired in the hospital (72% less likely)
“As a 2025 Patient Safety Excellence Award recipient, HCA Florida Aventura Hospital consistently puts the well-being of their patients and staff at the forefront, setting a high standard for patient safety nationwide,” said Debra Gradick, MD FACEP, senior physician consultant at Healthgrades. “We commend HCA Florida Aventura Hospital for providing consistently exceptional care while preventing serious injuries, giving patients their best chance of a seamless recovery.”
