(St. George, UT) - Becker’s Hospital Review, a trade journal for health system leadership, has named Dixie Regional Medical Center to their list of 100 Great Community Hospitals.

According to an article published in the journal, hospitals recognized by Becker’s, “have demonstrated commitments to the health of their local population through clinical excellence, community involvement and various other efforts.” Two Intermountain Healthcare hospitals were listed: Dixie Regional and McKay Dee Hospital (Ogden).

Hospitals with less than 550 inpatient beds and with emphasis on providing healthcare to the communities served (not to serve as a teaching facilities) are considered for this list. They are evaluated based on information that has been made available through many independent sources including iVantage Health Analytics, Thomson Reuters, HealthGrades and the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
