National recognition for exceptional care received by HCA Florida Poinciana Hospital
Poinciana, FL — HCA Florida Poinciana Hospital is announcing its recognition for exceptional clinical outcomes in several categories by Healthgrades, the No. 1 site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital.
HCA Florida Poinciana Hospital is a Healthgrades Five-Star Recipient for treatment of heart failure for four years in a row (2023-2026); Five-Star Recipient for hip fracture treatment for a seventh year (2020-2026); Five-Star Recipient for gallbladder surgery for the seventh year in a row (2020–2026); Five-Star Recipient for treatment of diabetic hospitalizations for the fourth consecutive year (2023–2026); and Five-Star Recipient of treatment of sepsis and treatment of respiratory failure in 2026.
"These national recognitions highlight our team's ongoing dedication to delivering exceptional care close to home," said Cullen Brown, CEO of HCA Florida Poinciana Hospital. "Our commitment to clinical excellence and patient-centered care drives us to continually improve and serve our growing community with compassion and expertise.”
HCA Florida Poinciana Hospital’s achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. Each year, Healthgrades evaluates risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for more than 30 common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide to identify the top hospitals in key specialty areas. These evaluations empower patients to find a hospital that excels in their procedure or condition.
“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 Poinciana Hospital for its consistently superior outcomes in the critical care of patients with sepsis, in hip fracture treatment, gallbladder surgery, respiratory failure and heart failure.”
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. *
