HCA HOUSTON HEALTHCARE TOMBALL NAMED ONE OF AMERICA’S 250 BEST HOSPITALS BY HEALTHGRADES

HOUSTON, Texas (July 1, 2026) – HCA Houston Healthcare has been named one of America’s 250 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades, the number one site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital. This achievement reflects HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball’s commitment to clinical excellence and top-tier patient care, placing the organization in the top 5% of U.S. hospitals for overall clinical performance.

In addition to this distinction for overall clinical care, HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball was named among America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Gastrointestinal Care for two consecutive years and recognized as one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals for Surgical Care. HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball also ranks among the top 5% in the nation for Surgical Care, is ranked #4 in the state for Surgical Care, and is a two-time recipient of the Healthgrades Surgical Care Excellence Award.

Beyond these honors, HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball has received numerous Healthgrades awards recognizing exceptional patient care in key clinical areas, including heart failure, orthopedic care, respiratory failure, diabetic care, sepsis treatment, carotid procedures, pacemaker procedures and pulmonary care. These accomplishments further underscore HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball’s dedication to delivering the highest quality care to every patient, year after year.

“Our continued national recognition is a direct reflection on the physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, and support staff who work collaboratively to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients,” said Robert Marmerstein, CEO of HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball. “Their commitment to excellence is what makes this level of recognition possible.”

HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball’s achievement is based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. To determine America’s 250 Best Hospitals for 2026, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for more than 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide.

Healthgrades’ annual analysis found that outcomes vary widely between the nation’s highest- and lowest-performing facilities—and the gap is getting bigger. In fact, if all hospitals, as a group, performed similarly to America’s 250 Best, on average, 211,370 lives could have been saved during the 2022-2024 study period.* These findings illustrate the importance of choosing a facility with an established record of superior clinical outcomes.

“This year's America’s Best Hospitals list gives patients a clearer picture of where high-quality care is delivered most consistently,” said Alana Biggers, MD, MPH, medical advisor at Healthgrades. “Patients can feel confident in their decision to seek care at HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball, an organization that is setting the standard for clinical excellence nationwide.” 

With care variation on the rise, consumers must find and select a top-rated hospital to maximize their chances of a successful outcome.
