Centinela Hospital Medical Center Earns National Recognition for Five-Star Ratings in Specialty Care from Healthgrades

Sharing is caring!

Inglewood, CA - Oct. 27, 2026 - Centinela Hospital Medical Center, a member of Prime Healthcare, announced today that it has earned top honors for clinical quality from Healthgrades, the #1 site Americans use to find a doctor or hospital.

Among Centinela's new recognitions are four Specialty Excellence Awards. Centinela achieved Five-Star Ratings for outstanding performance in Pacemaker Procedures, 14 years in a row, Hip Fracture Treatment, 14 years in a row, Spinal Fusion Surgery, two years in a row, and Diabetic Hospitalizations, five years in a row.

"We are incredibly proud to receive five-star ratings from Healthgrades," said Mohammad Naser, CEO. "These recognitions reflect the commitment of our physicians, nurses, clinicians, and staff to delivering exceptional patient care. This achievement is a testament to the culture and dedication of our entire team to improving the health and well-being of the communities we serve."

Centinela's achievements are based on what matters most: patient outcomes. Unlike rankings based on surveys or reputation, Healthgrades evaluates hospital performance strictly on objective clinical outcomes-risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates-across more than 30 common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide.

The impact of choosing a high-performing hospital is significant. Healthgrades' 2027 analysis revealed that if all hospitals performed at the level of five-star rated facilities during the 2023-2025 study period, 227,229 lives could have been saved and 158,138 complications could have been avoided.*
