Granville Health System Receives the 2026 Women’s Choice Award® for Outpatient Experience
Granville Health System (GHS) has been recognized as one of America’s Best Hospitals for Outpatient Experience by the Women’s Choice Award®, placing GHS in the top 8% of more than 4,000 hospitals nationwide surveyed for outpatient experience.
This distinction highlights Granville Health System’s commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care in outpatient settings, where convenience, communication, and overall experience play a critical role for patients and families.
“Overnight hospital stays can be stressful and costly,” said Delia Passi, founder and CEO of the Women’s Choice Award®. “With more procedures now available on an outpatient basis, it’s essential that women—who often juggle demanding schedules—can easily identify hospitals that offer safe, convenient, and compassionate care.”
Award Methodology
The Women’s Choice Award for Outpatient Experience is the only national designation that identifies top-performing hospitals by combining patient satisfaction data, clinical excellence, and women’s healthcare preferences.
To qualify, hospitals must be accredited by The Joint Commission (JC), Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP), Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality (CIHQ), or Det Norske Veritas Healthcare (DNV).
Hospitals must also score at or above the national average in key measures from the Outpatient and Ambulatory Surgery Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (OAS CAHPS) survey, including: Care by hospital staff, Pre- and post-surgical coordination and communication, facility ratings, and likelihood to recommend.
Survey categories are weighted based on proprietary research conducted by the Women’s Choice Award to reflect women’s healthcare priorities.
Granville Health System is one of only 450 hospitals nationwide to receive this recognition for 2026.
“This recognition speaks directly to the experience our patients have when they walk through our doors,” said Adam McConnell, Chief Executive Officer of Granville Health System. “Being ranked in the top 8% nationally reinforces our focus on listening to our patients, improving access to outpatient services, and delivering care that is efficient, compassionate, and close to home.”
