CRMC is a Five-Star recipient

| October 30, 2024

Coshocton Regional Medical Center, a member of Prime Healthcare, is a Five-Star Recipient for Treatment of Heart Failure for two years in a row (2024-2025). This designation is in addition to receiving the 2024 Healthgrades Patient Safety Excellence Award™ for the fifth time since 2020. This distinction places Coshocton Regional Medical Center among the top 10% of all short-term acute care hospitals as evaluated by Healthgrades.

“Receiving recognition for our treatment of heart failure strengthens our continued work to support our American College of Cardiology Heart Failure and Chest Pain Accreditations”, said Lisa Jackson, chief nursing officer at Coshocton Regional Medical Center. “We work very hard to maintain our cardiac accreditations, and being awarded a Five-Star award from Healthgrades reinforces that hard work.”

Coshocton Regional Medical Center’s achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. As part of its 2025 hospital assessment, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for more than 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide to determine the top performers in specialty care. By offering easy access to objective performance measures, Healthgrades helps consumers find and select a hospital that excels in providing the care they need.

As variation in performance among hospitals continues to grow, it is increasingly important for consumers to seek care at top-rated programs. Healthgrades’ 2025 analysis revealed that if all hospitals as a group performed similarly to five-star hospitals during the 2021-2023 study period, on average, 224,958 lives could potentially have been saved and 141,692 complications could potentially have been avoided.

“Healthgrades commends Coshocton Regional Medical Center for their clear commitment to delivering consistently superior patient outcomes in critical service areas, including heart failure,” said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer and head of data science at Healthgrades. “Coshocton Regional Medical Center’s leadership, expertise, and unwavering dedication to clinical excellence set a high mark for specialty care in Ohio and nationwide.”
