YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – U.S. News & World Report has named Mercy Health St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital and Mercy Health St. Elizabeth Boardman Hospital to its 2024-2025 Best Hospitals as High Performing hospitals.

The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their health care providers in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.
“Mercy Health’s providers, clinicians and employees walk through our hospital doors every day with one goal that’s paramount to all others – to bring good help to those in need,” said Dr. John Luellen, president of Mercy Health Lorain and Youngstown. “As our ministry’s mission calls us to do, Mercy Health is committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care to our patients to improve the health and well-being of our communities.”
U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions. Hospitals awarded a Best designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.
