BROOKSVILLE, Fla. (October 28, 2025) – HCA Florida Oak Hill Hospital has achieved 27 accolades for clinical excellence from Healthgrades, the #1 site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital. Oak Hill Hospital earned four Top 10% specialty recognitions as one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery, Joint Replacement Surgery, Spine Surgery and Prostate Surgery.
In addition to these national recognitions, Oak Hill Hospital is ranked #3 in Florida for Prostate Surgery, #4 in Florida for Joint Replacement Surgery and #5 in Florida for Orthopedic Surgery in 2025. These achievements further affirm Oak Hill Hospital’s status as a premier destination for specialty care and underscore the organization’s longstanding commitment to excellent patient care.
Oak Hill Hospital CEO Ken Wicker said, “Our hospital’s commitment to patient-centered care and high-quality outcomes is evident in these 27 Healthgrades recognitions. We are very proud to be ranked nationally, as well, with state recognition, ranking third in prostate surgery, fourth in joint replacement and fifth in orthopedic surgery overall.”
“Healthgrades uses objective data sets to compare care across the nation, identifying hospitals that provide the level of quality care that patients and families deserve, need and expect,” said Chief Medical Officer David P. Slovut, MD, PhD, MHA. “Oak Hill Hospital’s achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes,” he said.
Each year, Healthgrades evaluates risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for over 30 common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide to identify the top hospitals in key specialty areas, including prostate, orthopedic, spine and joint replacement surgery. Through easy-to-understand, objective measures of hospital performance, Healthgrades empowers patients with the information they need to find a hospital that excels in their procedure or condition.
As performance gaps persist between the nation’s highest- and lowest-achieving facilities, seeking care at a top program has never been more important. Healthgrades’ 2026 analysis revealed that if all hospitals, as a group, performed similarly to five-star hospitals during the 2022-2024 study period, on average, 230,466 lives could have been saved, and 156,797 complications could have been avoided.*
“Healthgrades’ specialty awards identify the nation’s top-performing hospitals in key service areas, helping consumers find high quality care tailored to their specific needs,” said Alana Biggers, MD, MPH, medical advisor at Healthgrades. “We’re proud to recognize HCA Florida Oak Hill Hospital for its consistently superior outcomes in key service areas, including prostate, joint replacement, orthopedic and spine surgery.”
