In addition to these national honors, Los Robles Health System was also ranked #1 in California for Surgical Care and Orthopedics Surgery, and the hospital was named among the top in the state with services that include Gastrointestinal Surgery, Joint Replacement Surgery and Prostate Surgery.
These achievements further affirm Los Robles Health System’s status as a premier destination for care and underscore the organization’s longstanding commitment to delivering an unparalleled care experience.
“We strive to provide world-class care each and every day for our patients and community,” stated Phil Buttell, CEO of Los Robles Health System. “Being named #1 in California for orthopedic surgery and surgical care is an extraordinary accomplishment, and I am so proud of our talented care teams and physicians that make care like this accessible to our entire region and state.”
Los Robles Health System’s achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. Each year, Healthgrades evaluates risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for over 30 common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide to identify the top hospitals in key specialty areas. Through easy-to-understand, objective measures of hospital performance, Healthgrades empowers patients with the information they need to find a hospital that excels in their procedure or condition.
As performance gaps persist between the nation’s highest- and lowest-achieving facilities, seeking care at a top program has never been more important. Healthgrades’ 2026 analysis revealed that if all hospitals, as a group, performed similarly to five-star hospitals during the 2022-2024 study period, on average, 230,466 lives could have been saved and 156,797 complications could have been avoided.*
“Healthgrades’ awards identify the nation’s top-performing hospitals in key service areas, helping consumers find high quality care tailored to their specific needs,” said Alana Biggers, MD, MPH, medical advisor at Healthgrades. “We’re proud to recognize Los Robles Health System for its consistently superior outcomes in key service areas, including cardiac, orthopedics, surgical care, critical care and more.”
