Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital ranked #2 among Georgia’s Top Large Hospitals by Georgia Trend

Albany, GA | December 9, 2025 – Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital (PPMH) is one of the best hospitals in Georgia, according to Georgia Trend. PPMH is ranked #2 among Georgia’s Top Large Hospitals in the influential magazine’s annual “Healthcare High Performers” report. This recognition emphasizes Phoebe’s dedication and commitment to delivering exceptional care, improving patient outcomes, and fostering community trust.

The rankings are based on the performance of hospitals that participate in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Value-Based Purchasing program, which evaluates hospitals nationwide on quality and value. Georgia Trend assessed hospitals in the state across four equally-weighted domains:

  • Clinical Outcomes: Measures of patient health and recovery after treatment
  • Person and Community Engagement: Patient experience and satisfaction scores
  • Safety: Prevention of hospital-acquired conditions and adherence to safety protocols
  • Efficiency and Cost Reduction: Effective resource utilization and cost management

Hospitals were grouped by size and mission, with PPMH placed in the Large Hospital category (250+ beds). This ranking reflects PPMH’s strong performance in all four domains, demonstrating excellence in both clinical care and operational efficiency.

“This achievement is a direct result of the tireless efforts of our physicians, nurses, and staff who put patients first every single day. Being recognized as one of Georgia’s top hospitals validates our commitment to quality care and patient safety. Our focus on innovation, collaboration, and community health drives everything we do. We are proud to serve southwest Georgia and will continue investing in programs and technologies that improve outcomes and enhance the patient experience” said Deb Angerami, PPMH President.

As the largest hospital in southwest Georgia, PPMH has long been a cornerstone of healthcare in the region, offering the area’s most advanced medical services, specialized care, and outreach programs that address the unique needs of the region. This recognition by Georgia Trend reinforces Phoebe’s role as a trusted leader in healthcare excellence.
