Community Hospital in Munster has once again been recognized as one of America's 50 best hospitals by Healthgrades, making it the only hospital in Indiana to achieve this distinction six-years in a row. Community Hospital Chief Executive Officer Don Flesko says, “this achievement is a testament to the systems we have in place, and the doctors and healthcare professionals who put quality and excellence in patient-first care...it demonstrates to the community we serve that we are focused on the things that matter most to our people.” Healthgrades distinction is based solely on clinical outcomes, and each year only one-percent of the nearly 45-hundred hospitals evaluated across the nation annually qualify for this achievement.
