Conroe named amongst nation's best hospitals for patient safety

HCA Houston Healthcare Conroe announced today that it has been recognized as a 2025 Patient Safety Excellence Award™ recipient by Healthgrades, the #1 site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital. This achievement reflects HCA Houston Healthcare Conroe’s clear commitment to safe, patient-centered care and puts HCA Houston Healthcare Conroe in the top 5% of hospitals nationwide for patient safety.

“We are incredibly proud to win this award for the second year in a row. This recognition is a testament to the dedication of our physicians, nurses and colleagues who work tirelessly to provide safe, high-quality care to every patient who walks through our doors. Patient safety remains our top priority, and we will continue striving for excellence in everything we do,” said Matt Davis, CEO of HCA Houston Healthcare Conroe.

These hospitals achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. To determine the top-performing hospitals for patient safety, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted complication and mortality rates for approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide. Healthgrades’ analysis revealed significant performance gaps between the nation’s highest- and lowest-achieving facilities, making it increasingly important for consumers to seek care at a hospital with top safety ratings. From 2021-2023, 173,280 preventable safety events occurred among Medicare patients in U.S. hospitals, with four patient safety indicators accounting for nearly 76% of these incidents. * The annual study found that patients treated in hospitals that received the 2025 Patient Safety Excellence Award have a significantly lower chance of experiencing one of the four leading safety indicators than patients treated at non-recipient hospitals:

• In-hospital falls resulting in fracture (54% less likely)
• Collapsed lung due to a procedure or surgery in or around the chest (approximately 55% less likely)
• Pressure sores or bed sores acquired in the hospital (approximately 69% less likely)
• Catheter-related bloodstream infections acquired in the hospital (72% less likely)
