Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee Named One of Nation’s 100 Top Hospitals®

Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee has been named one of the 100 Top Hospitals® in the nation by Premier, Inc., a leading healthcare improvement and technology company. In addition to this national recognition, the hospital also earned Premier’s Everest Award, a distinction given to only 17 hospitals nationwide for achieving both top-tier performance and the fastest, most consistent improvement over the past five years.

This honor places Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee among the highest-performing hospitals in the U.S. for clinical outcomes, operational efficiency, financial health and patient experience—based entirely on independent data analysis.

“We are deeply honored to be recognized with both the 100 Top Hospitals and the Everest Award distinction,” said Michele Keeling, Senior Vice President and President of Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee. “This is a reflection of the hard work, compassion and dedication our entire team brings to this community every single day. We are proud to care for Muskogee and eastern Oklahoma and this award affirms the quality and progress we’re delivering right here, close to home.”

The Everest Award is especially meaningful, as it highlights not just current excellence, but also how quickly and effectively the hospital has improved over time. Premier’s analysis shows that if all hospitals performed at the level of this year’s top 100, it could lead to over 331,000 additional lives saved, more than 611,000 fewer complications and $15.1 billion in cost savings annually.

This year’s top-performing hospitals were found to have:

• 39% fewer inpatient deaths
• 26.5% fewer complications
• 32% fewer hospital-acquired infections
• 18% lower inpatient expenses
• A better overall patient experience

Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee continues to build on its mission of extending the presence and healing ministry of Christ in eastern Oklahoma. This recognition is a milestone in the hospital’s ongoing efforts to improve access, outcomes and care for the people it serves.
