Always Out in Front with the Best Care
With six major facilities and more than 6,000 employees, St. Elizabeth Healthcare is not only the largest healthcare provider in Northern Kentucky, but also continually recognized as one of the nation’s best. Time and again, our organization has been lauded for exceptional care by an array of respected sources.
For the past two years, for instance, we have been named both one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals, by HealthGrades, and a Top 100 Hospital, by Thomson Reuters. We were the region’s first hospital to receive Magnet™ status (at the St. Elizabeth Edgewood, Grant, and Covington facilities), nursing’s highest honor. And in 2008, we were inducted into Greater Cincinnati’s Best Place to Work Hall of Fame after repeatedly winning that distinction from the Cincinnati Business Courier.
But, the accolades and achievements do not stop there. They go on to compile quite a spectacular list, the highlights of which we detail below for you.
