TORRANCE MEMORIAL MEDICAL CENTER RANKS 9^TH BEST HOSPITAL IN CALIFORNIA IN THE 2024-2025 U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT BEST HOSPITAL RANKINGS

Torrance, Calif., July 16, 2024 - Torrance Memorial Medical Center has been recognized as the Best Hospital 2024-25 for thirteen years by U.S. News & World Report, placing the hospital in the top 3% in California.

Torrance Memorial remained the 9^th highest-ranked overall hospital quality in California and 4^th in the Los Angeles/Orange County region. Ranking "High Performing" in six specialties and 16 of 20 procedures and conditions, Torrance Memorial is also distinguished as nationally ranked in Orthopedics (#37) and OB/GYN (#43).

We also congratulate our Cedars-Sinai Health System affiliate partners, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, which tied for #1 in California, and Huntington Health, which ranked #12 in California.

"We are extremely proud to maintain our rankings this year as the 9th highest quality hospital in California and 4^th in the Los Angeles/Orange County region," said Keith Hobbs, CEO and president of Torrance Memorial Medical Center. "Torrance Memorial is in the top echelon of healthcare institutions in California, demonstrating our commitment to excellence and providing exceptional care to the South Bay community."

"For 35 years, U.S. News has been a leading resource for patients navigating their health care decisions," said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. "A 'Best Hospital' recognition empowers patients to seek medical care from the best of the best to treat their illness or condition."

To calculate the Best Hospitals rankings, U.S. News evaluated each hospital's performance using objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications, and level of nursing care. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This year, among other methodology refinements, U.S. News incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on care provided to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of patients included in its annual data analysis. The Procedures & Conditions ratings are based entirely on objective quality measures.
