Bon Secours St. Francis has been recognized as a 2025-2026 “Best Hospital” by the U.S. News & World Report. Together, the health system’s two hospital campuses – St. Francis Eastside and St. Francis Downtown – were ranked first overall in the Greenville, S.C. area.
“Being named the top hospital in Greenville is a reflection of the unwavering commitment our team has to delivering outstanding care,” said Matt Caldwell, president of Bon Secours St. Francis Health System. “Every day, our physicians, nurses, and staff put patients first, bringing compassion, skill, and dedication to their work. We’re proud to see their efforts recognized through this honor from U.S. News & World Report.”
The annual Best Hospitals rankings and ratings are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive quality care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures. U.S. News evaluated more than 4,400 hospitals across 15 specialties and 22 procedures and conditions. Only 13% of evaluated hospitals earned a Best Hospitals ranking, a designation meaning they excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.
“For more than three decades, U.S. News has been an invaluable guide for patients,” said Managing Editor and Chief of Health Analysis Ben Harder at U.S. News. “With a ‘Best Hospital’ recognition, Americans, in consultation with their medical providers, can confidently choose a regional hospital known for providing superior care for their specific illness or condition.”
Bon Secours St. Francis Health System earned high performing rating for common adult procedures and conditions in eight categories – abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, hip fracture, hip replacement, kidney failure, knee replacement, leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, as well as pacemaker implantation and prostate cancer surgery. These ratings are recognition of care that was significantly better than the national average, as measured by factors such as patient outcomes.
