Alaska Regional's network repeats as one of the nation's top health systems
Anchorage, Alaska — Alaska Regional Hospital and its 10 sister facilities in Idaho and Utah are once again part of one of the nation’s Top 15 Health Systems™.
HCA Healthcare’s Mountain Division, with care sites in three states, was recognized again in 2024 on the annual list from PINC AI™, the technology and services brand of Premier, Inc. It’s the second straight year the Mountain Division has received the distinction, which recognizes the top health systems based on measurements around clinical and extended outcomes, operational performance and patient experience.
“This tremendous accomplishment belongs to our entire team,” said Evan Ray, president of HCA Healthcare’s Mountain Division. “This recognition is the result of the skill and compassion on display in each of our 1.5 million annual patient interactions, and also of the thoughtful coordination and shared purpose across our team of 10,000 professionals.
The Mountain Division encompasses the 250-bed Anchorage facility as well as more than 100 care sites in Idaho and Utah. It is one of 15 divisions of HCA Healthcare, one of the nation’s leading providers of health services. The knowledge, data and best practices from HCA Healthcare’s 43 million annual patient interactions help to continually enhance the care delivered locally, division leaders say.
“We're proud of this honor, but not satisfied,” Ray added. “We continue to identify opportunities to advance our capabilities and earn the trust of even more families here in Alaska with our award-winning care.”
According to analysis by PINC AI™, the highest-performing health systems in the 2024 report had 21% fewer deaths than peer health systems, 13.8% fewer patients with complications and better patient experience scores. Health systems neither apply to participate nor opt in or out of the annual report, and award recipients do not pay to market their honor.
