Sep 4, 2026
Adventist Health Portland has been recognized in U.S. News & World Report’s 2026–2027 Best Hospitals ratings as High Performing in six procedures and conditions.
The hospital received High Performing ratings for abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart arrhythmia, heart attack and hip fracture, and pacemaker implantation. This designation is the highest distinction a hospital can earn in U.S. News’ Procedures & Conditions ratings.
Delivering high-quality care every day
“This recognition reflects the skill, compassion and consistency our teams bring to patient care every day,” said Wes Rippey, MD, area medical officer for Adventist Health. “Patients across our community rely on us during some of life’s most difficult moments, and I’m grateful to the physicians, nurses and associates whose commitment to quality made this recognition possible.”
Helping patients make informed care decisions
U.S. News’ annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to help patients and their healthcare providers make informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions and elective procedures. U.S. News evaluated nearly 4,500 hospitals across 14 adult specialties and 23 procedures and conditions.
“When patients face a major surgery or a chronic medical condition, having access to clear, quality data is vital,” said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News. “A ‘High Performing’ rating means that Adventist Health Portland outperformed a national threshold, giving families a reliable starting point as they consult with their doctors to choose the best place for care.”
Measured through outcomes and patient experience
U.S. News analyzed hospital performance using objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality, preventable complications and patient experience. Its 2026–2027 methodologies measure patient outcomes using data from more than 800 million patient-care records.
