PROVIDENCE, RI — A Rhode Island hospital ranks among the 100 best in the country, according to a new national report.

Chicago-based niche media company Becker’s Healthcare’s “Great Hospitals in America” ​​list includes many of the same hospitals as rankings by U.S. News & World Report, Healthgrades, The Leapfrog Group and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

“These hospitals are widely recognized for their clinical excellence, commitment to patient safety, innovative initiatives, research efforts, education and high patient satisfaction,” the company said.

Becker said the list of 100 hospitals is not exhaustive and does not represent an endorsement of the hospitals included. The hospitals submitted nominations and Becker’s editorial team conducted research.’

From Rhode Island, Miriam Hospital in Providence made it onto the list.

“Miriam Hospital is a 247-bed facility known for excellence in health care and medical research,” wrote Becker’s Hospital Review. “With more than 816 physicians, 50 house staff, 650 nurses and more than 2,800 support staff, it is a major teaching affiliate of the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. The hospital is recognized by the Joint Commission as a primary stroke center and has received the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association Gold Plus designation for stroke care annually since 2008.”
