Franciscan Health Indianapolis Named One of America’s 250 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades for Fourth Consecutive Year
Franciscan Health Indianapolis has been named one of America’s 250 Best Hospitals for 2026, according to new research released by Healthgrades. This marks the fourth consecutive year the hospital has received the honor.
Franciscan Health Indianapolis is the only hospital in the state of Indiana to be named to the America’s 250 Best Hospitals list for four consecutive years (2023-2026).
This achievement reflects Franciscan Health Indianapolis’s unwavering commitment to exceptional patient care and puts the organization in the top 5% of hospitals nationwide for overall clinical performance.
“It is a great honor to be recognized by Healthgrades as one of the best 250 hospitals in the country for the fourth consecutive year and we are very humbled,” said Lori Price, president and CEO for Franciscan Health Central Indiana. “To be the only hospital in the state to receive this recognition, four years in a row, exemplifies the dedication of our physicians, surgeons, advanced practice providers, nurses and co-workers. We take great pride in providing best-in-class care for our patients while upholding our Franciscan values.”
Franciscan Health Indianapolis's achievements are based exclusively on what matters most: patient outcomes. To determine the top hospitals for 2026, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for over 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide. Healthgrades’ annual analysis revealed significant performance gaps between the nation’s highest- and lowest-achieving hospitals, making it increasingly important to seek care at a top-rated facility.
“This year's America’s Best Hospitals list gives patients a clearer picture of where high-quality care is delivered most consistently,” said Alana Biggers, MD, MPH, medical advisor at Healthgrades. “Patients can feel confident in their decision to seek care at Franciscan Health Indianapolis, an organization that is setting the standard for clinical excellence nationwide.”
