Luminis Health Doctors Community Medical Center Recognized as a High Performing Hospital by U.S. News & World Report

Luminis Heath Doctors Community Medical Center (LHDCMC), a cornerstone of healthcare in Prince George’s County for nearly 50 years, proudly announces its recognition by U.S. News & World Report as a 2024-2025 High Performing hospital. LHDCMC has achieved this prestigious distinction for excelling in four critical procedures and conditions: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Heart Failure, Pneumonia, and Stroke. This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn for the U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings.

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 35^th 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.

“This recognition by U.S. News & World Report is a testament to our physicians and team members’ commitment to delivering high-quality care to the communities we serve,” said Deneen Richmond, president of Luminis Health Doctors Community Medical Center. “As we prepare to celebrate our hospital’s 50^th anniversary next year, we remain steadfast as a leader in medical excellence, providing exceptional care close to home.”

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.
