Spartanburg Medical Center has been named by U.S. News & World Report to its 2023-2024 Best Hospitals as a high performing hospital for nine procedures and/or conditions. 

This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings.

Spartanburg Medical Center also received the distinction of Best Regional Hospital for the Upstate. 

The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.

Spartanburg Medical Center was named high performing for the following procedures and/or conditions:

  • COPD 
  • Colon Cancer Surgery 
  • Heart Attack 
  • Heart Bypass Surgery 
  • Knee Replacement 
  • Leukemia, Lymphoma & Myeloma

This year’s announcement builds on a history of excellence in cardiovascular, pulmonary and surgical care at Spartanburg Medical Center, which has been recognized in the areas of heart bypass surgery, COPD, colon cancer surgery and lung cancer surgery for four consecutive years. 

“For more than 100 years, Spartanburg Medical Center and its medical staff have served our community by providing world-class care through technological advancements, research and innovation,” said Phil Feisal, president of Spartanburg Medical Center. “Being nationally recognized for that continued commitment to excellence is rewarding to our physicians, nurses, clinicians and associates who work every day to improve the health of our community.” 

U.S. News evaluated more than 4,500 hospitals across 15 specialties and 21 procedures and conditions. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.

“For 34 years, U.S. News has provided data-informed rankings to help patients and their doctors find the best hospital to treat their illness or condition,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “Fewer than half of evaluated hospitals earned any High Performing rating.
