San Antonio Regional Hospital was named one of the nation’s top 50 cardiovascular hospitals by IBM Watson Health™.
This distinction recognizes top performance based on a balanced scorecard of publicly available clinical and operational metrics and data. The 2019 study included 989 U.S. hospitals with cardiovascular service lines. San Antonio was compared to a peer group of 423 non-teaching community hospitals and was one of only 20 community hospitals nationwide and one of only two community hospitals in California to make the list. According to the IBM Watson Health study, the 50 hospitals honored by this award demonstrated:
- Significantly higher inpatient survival rates
