We are proud to announce that Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Temple was ranked No. 1 in the United States on the 2023 Fortune/PINC AI Top 100 Hospitals list. This marks the 13th year our Temple campus has ranked among the top 100 hospitals, but the first year our facility has earned the No. 1 spot.
According to Fortune and PINC AI, this ranking means our Temple campus is among an elite group of hospitals across the country that “stand apart and serve as guides for the broader industry.”
Out of 2,644 short-term acute care hospitals in the nation, the Temple campus outperformed other major teaching hospitals on a range of measures, including clinical outcomes, patient experience, operational efficiency, financial health and community impact. In fact, Temple earned perfect scores in four categories and nearly perfect in one.
“This is a wonderful acknowledgment of our quality of care,” said Dr. Stephen Sibbitt, chief medical officer for the Temple campus. “Many people are aware there is a big hospital in Temple, but not many are aware of how we rank nationally. Baylor Scott & White – Temple is on par with the best in the nation, especially in patient experience and quality care.”
This prestigious recognition is also a powerful testament to the unwavering passion and exceptional expertise demonstrated by all our providers and support staff.
“We have a remarkable team,” Dr. Sibbitt said. “That includes not only the physicians on the medical staff but also our nurses, pharmacists, respiratory therapists…everyone. We are deeply grateful for their tireless pursuit of excellence and the impact they have on our patients and our community.”
Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, our system’s north Texas flagship hospital, also earned a top spot on the list, tying for No. 2 among major teaching hospitals.
“When you think about the well-known hospitals in America, they’re not number one,” Dr. Sibbitt says. “We are.”
