MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center was named in Newsweek's 2025 America’s Best Hospitals rankings in three categories: America's Best Neurological Hospitals 2025, America's Best Cancer Hospitals 2025 and America's Best Orthopedic Hospitals 2025 —for the second year in a row. All three specialties are part of MemorialCare’s major Institutes, which emphasize research, outcomes and quality metrics.
"We are honored to be recognized by Newsweek as one of America’s Best Hospitals in three specialties for the second year in a row,” said Stephanie Garcia, RN, vice president, operations, MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center. “This recognition reflects our care teams’ commitment to combining physician expertise with outcome-focused clinical programs and the latest technology. I’ve been with this organization for nearly 15 years, and that mission has remained constant since we opened more than 100 years ago—providing advanced protocols, innovative technology and the best possible care for our patients.”
These prestigious awards are presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The 2025 America’s Best Hospitals rankings recognize the leading hospitals in the U.S. across various specialties, highlighting their excellence in patient care and notable treatments. The underlying data analysis is based on four data sources:
- Nationwide Online Survey: Healthcare professionals and hospital managers were asked to recommend leading hospitals in their respective fields, with the survey promoted on newsweek.com.
- Hospital Quality Metrics: Objective hospital quality metrics were analyzed, focusing on indicators relevant to neurological, oncology, and orthopedic care.
- Patient Experience Surveys: Surveys assessing patient experiences during hospitalization.
- Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) Implementation Survey: Voluntary surveys to evaluate the extent of PROMs implementation, audits, and data reporting in each hospital's care practice.
“Long Beach Medical Center’s recognition across three specialties reflects our systemwide commitment to quality care—delivering the right treatments at the right time, backed by strong quality metrics and clinical outcomes,” said Eugene Kim, M.D., chief medical officer, MemorialCare. “Long Beach Medical Center continues to exemplify this focus, consistently achieving excellence in patient care, safety and innovation.”
