In its annual Best Regional Hospitals rankings, U.S. News & World Report rated Baptist DeSoto Mississippi’s No. 1 hospital.
Baptist DeSoto earned the ranking in part due to the publication ranking more services than any other hospital in the state as “high performing.” The overall ranking credential was based on reputation with specialists, survival, patient safety, and other care-related indicators such as nurse staffing, patient volume, certain clinically proven technologies and other measures related to quality of care.
“This is a tremendous honor for our hospital,” said James Huffman, administrator and CEO of Baptist DeSoto. “I am so proud of all our team members and physicians because they all contributed to this outstanding achievement.”
