The medical center placed No. 55 out of 413 hospitals evaluated in California. This year, only 504 hospitals in 49 states were recognized as Best Regional Hospitals.

Year after year, Enloe Medical Center continues to increase its rating as high performing for several procedures and conditions, with seven in 2022, eight in 2023, nine in 2024 and 11 in 2025.

“Earning the distinction as a Best Regional Hospital once again is a significant honor that reflects the commitment of our physicians, nurses and staff to delivering exceptional care,” said Chief Medical Officer Sean Maiorano, D.O. “We are particularly proud that an increasing number of our service lines have received national recognition this year, showcasing our ongoing efforts to expand and elevate the quality of health care across our region.”
