US News & World Report Names Moanalua Medical Center Among Best Hospitals for 2024-25 in Hawaii

Kaiser Permanente Moanalua Medical Center has been named by US News & World Report as a 2024-2025 Best Hospital.

Kaiser Permanente Moanalua Medical Center ranked high performing in COPD; congestive heart failure; heart attack; knee replacement; leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma; pneumonia; and stroke among US News’ 2024-2025 edition of Best Hospitals.

“At Kaiser Permanente Hawaii, our patients’ total health is at the center of everything we do, and our connected care model demonstrates the best outcomes of working together,” said Ed Chan, president of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Hospitals in Hawaiʻi.

US News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions; only 11% of evaluated hospitals earned a Best Hospitals ranking. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.

“For 35 years, US News has been a leading resource for patients navigating their health care decisions,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at US News. “A ‘Best Hospital’ recognition empowers patients to seek out medical care from the best of the best to treat their illness or condition.”

To calculate the Best Hospitals rankings, US News evaluated each hospital’s performance on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This year, among other methodology refinements, US News incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on care provided to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of patients included in its annual data analysis. The Procedures & Conditions ratings are based entirely on objective quality measures.
