Mission Hospital is honored to have been recognized with the 2025 Patient Safety Excellence Award by Healthgrades for providing exceptional, patient-centered care. This annual recognition is given to the top 10% of hospitals for their commitment to delivering safe, high-quality care. Recognition on this list is based solely on patient outcomes. To determine the top-performing hospitals for patient safety, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted complication and mortality rates for approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide. The annual study found that patients treated in hospitals that received the 2025 Patient Safety Excellence Award have a significantly lower chance of experiencing certain complications than patients treated at non-recipient hospitals.

We couldn't be more proud of Tracey Gates, Trauma Program Injury Prevention and Outreach Coordinator, for being awarded the HCA Healthcare Innovative Injury Prevention Program of the Year. Tracey was instrumental in developing the Rachel Silver Distracted Driving Program that she teaches at local high schools and in drivers education programs. This program aims to aid new drivers with the knowledge of safe driving and what distracted driving looks like. She also helps empower the students to be active passengers and advocate for themselves in unsafe situations.

Today, Mission Hospital celebrated 28 graduates of our Nurse Aide Training Program (NATP)!

Participation in the six week NATP is a paid position, which allows those who have an interest in a healthcare career, but face time constraints or financial obstacles, to obtain the education they desire. At the end of the program, students sit for the NC Certified Nursing Assistant exam so they can begin providing care to our community within our hospital.
