Among Monroe Hospital’s distinctions are three Specialty Excellence Awards, placing the hospital among the nation’s top 5% for Vascular Surgery for two years in a row. Monroe Hospital also received five stars for Carotid Surgery (3 years in a row) and Peripheral Vascular Bypass (2 years is a row).
“It is our privilege to have a vascular surgery team that strives for excellence in the care they provide. Their commitment to excellence has resulted in multiple recognitions from Healthgrades, including three consecutive years of accolades for vascular surgery and two years for exceptional vascular service quality.

Monroe Hospital’s achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. As part of its 2025 hospital assessment, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for over 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide to determine the top performers in specialty care. By offering easy access to objective performance measures, Healthgrades helps consumers find and select a hospital that excels in providing the care they need.
As variation in performance among hospitals continues to grow, it is increasingly important for consumers to seek care at top-rated programs. Healthgrades’ 2025 analysis revealed that if all hospitals as a group performed similarly to five-star hospitals during the 2021-2023 study period, on average, 224,958 lives could potentially have been saved and 141,692 complications could potentially have been avoided.*
“Healthgrades commends Monroe Hospital for their clear commitment to delivering consistently superior patient outcomes in critical service areas, including Carotid Surgery and Peripheral Vascular Bypass,” said Brad Bowman, MD, chief medical officer and head of data science at Healthgrades. “Monroe Hospital’s leadership, expertise, and unwavering dedication to clinical excellence set a high mark for specialty care in Indiana and nationwide.”
