MUNSTER – Community Hospital has been named a Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellent for the ninth consecutive years. The designation came from HealthGrades, an independent organization that evaluated health care.

Only the top 5 percent of hospitals in the nation can receive the designation.

“We congratulate and thank our physicians, nurses and staff who work hard to bring a great healthcare experience to every patient on every visit,” said Donald P. Fesko, chief executive officer. “At a time when the government is focusing on how closely hospitals follow best clinical practices and enhance the patient experience, this HealthGrades study confirms our ongoing commitment to quality care.”
