CHI Health Good Samaritan has been recognized as one of Nebraska’s top three hospitals for critical care according to the Healthgrades 2027 Specialty State Rankings. The prestigious distinction reflects a long-standing commitment to delivering superior patient outcomes across key specialty areas.
Good Samaritan also ranked in the top 15% of hospitals nationwide for specialty excellence receiving three additional 2027 Specialty Excellence Awards for Emergency Hospitalization, Critical Care and Stroke Care.
Healthgrades evaluates nearly 4,500 hospitals across the U.S., analyzing risk-adjusted complication and mortality rates to determine which institutions provide the highest standard of care.
“These accolades underscore a long-standing dedication to our community—from investing in the latest medical technology to attracting and retaining the best clinical staff,” says Steve Schieber, president, Good Samaritan. “More than that, this recognition is based on what matters most: patient outcomes. Our patients can feel confident that when they choose Good Samaritan, they are receiving care that sets the standard for clinical excellence for Kearney, greater Nebraska and nationwide.”
