The categories include excellence in stroke, cardiac, and critical care, among others. Each hospital also earned multiple five-star distinctions for treatments of issues like COPD and sepsis.

"When a patient turns to WellSpan Health for high-quality specialty care, we know they are putting their trust in us and we value the opportunity to show what our skilled clinicians can do for them," said Dr. Michael Seim, senior vice president and chief quality officer at WellSpan Health. "These recognitions stand as a testament to the effort put forth at each of our hospitals by a dedicated team that understands the importance of safe and reliable care."
