This worldwide recognition is now the fourth time on the list for Little Company of Mary and the first for Saint John’s. Also on the list are Providence Mission Hospital and Providence St. Jude Medical Center, which are both located in Orange County.

“Congratulations to all our providers and staff at these four hospitals for overcoming the challenges of two very difficult years and maintaining top quality, safety, patient satisfaction and peer recognition,” Kevin Manemann, chief executive, Providence Southern California, said in a statement.

“I credit the extraordinary teamwork that continually advances quality care and the commitment to our promise: know me, care for me, ease my way,” Manemann said.
