Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center (LHAAMC), the premier healthcare institution in Annapolis for nearly 125 years, has been named by U.S. News & World Report as a 2024-2025 Best Hospital. LHAAMC ranked No. 8 in Maryland and No. 6 in the Baltimore Metro Area. The hospital was recognized as a high performing hospital in eight specialties for common procedures, including cardiac care, cancer services, and orthopedics.

U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions. Hospitals awarded “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.

The annual Best Hospital rankings and ratings, now in its 35th year, are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decision about where to receive quality care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.

“We are fortunate to have an extraordinary team of caregivers and staff who deserve recognition for this honor,” said Sherry Perkins, president of Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center. “This prestigious Best Hospital designation highlights their commitment to excellence and patient-centered care. This recognition, together with our ‘A’ safety ratings from Leapfrog and the hospital’s recent third Magnet designation for nursing, shows our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of care for the communities we serve.”

To calculate the Best Hospitals rankings, U.S. News evaluated each hospital’s performance on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

This year, among other methodology refinements, U.S. News incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on care provided to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of patients included in its annual data analysis. The Procedures & Conditions ratings are based entirely on objective quality measures.
