Redlands, Calif. – October 23, 2024 – Redlands Community Hospital (RCH) has been named one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Joint Replacement, according to new research released by Healthgrades, the leading marketplace connecting doctors and patients. RCH also received Five-Star ratings for orthopedic surgery and prostate surgery.

This achievement reflects RCH’s outstanding clinical outcomes for orthopedic surgery and places the hospital in the top 10% of hospitals nationwide for joint replacement three years in a row.

“I am proud of our doctors, nurses and staff for making Redlands Community Hospital among the nation’s top hospitals for joint replacement for three consecutive years,” said RCH President and CEO, James R. Holmes. “This prestigious recognition acknowledges our ongoing efforts to provide the highest standards in orthopedic care. From diagnosis, treatment to physical therapy, our orthopedic team is committed to excellence in care and strives for the best patient recovery outcomes.”

The RCH Spine & Joint Institute is a multi-specialty center that provides advanced procedures for spine, complex joint and other orthopedic disorders. Providing a continuum of orthopedic care, the hospital’s highly-trained surgeons, nurses, case managers and rehabilitation team work together to ensure each patient experiences speedy recovery and enhance the mobility.

RCH’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 performed similarly to five-star hospitals during the 2021-2023 study period, an average of 224,958 lives could potentially have been saved, and 141,692 complications could potentially have been avoided.
