Mercy Health is proud to announce that Mercy Health – Tiffin hospital was named as one of the nation’s 100 Top Hospitals®, according to an independent quality analysis provided by Premier, Inc.

This is the fourth year that Mercy Health – Tiffin Hospital has been named on this list.

The list was created using an objective, quantitative analysis of publicly available data to identify the top hospitals in the United States. The primary purpose of Premier’s 100 Top Hospitals® program is to inspire hospital and health system leaders to pursue higher performance and deliver added value to patients and communities. Participation in the study is not application-based, and award winners do not pay to market their honor. 

"We are incredibly honored to receive this quality recognition, a testament to the exceptional care and unwavering commitment to excellence that our entire team demonstrates every day,” said Andrew Morgan, president, Mercy Health – Tiffin and Willard Hospitals. “This achievement highlights that patient safety remains at the forefront of everything we do, and for that, we are profoundly grateful to our physicians, nurses, and all hospital staff members. This recognition reflects not just our collective success, but the profound impact our team has on the health and well-being of our community."

Mercy Health – Tiffin Hospital continues to earn prestigious recognitions for its commitment to excellence in health care. Recently, it was named for a third consecutive year as a 2025 Top 100 Rural & Community Hospital by The Chartis Center for Rural Health and among Fortune's 100 Top Hospitals list.

As an acute care facility with 48 beds, Mercy Health – Tiffin Hospital provides compassionate, family-centered care in areas including cardiology, general surgery, urology, oncology, orthopedics, and obstetrics, among others. With advanced treatments and cutting-edge technology, Mercy Health has been dedicated to meeting the health care needs of the Tiffin community since its founding by the Sisters of Mercy in 1913.

Performance of Facilities on Premier’s 100 Top Hospitals® Program List

This year’s analysis compared the study’s top performing hospitals to a peer group of similar hospitals and found that Premier’s 100 Top Hospitals® delivered better outcomes while operating more efficiently. Compared to their peers, this year’s top performers achieved:

  • 39 % fewer inpatient deaths than peer hospitals.
  • 26.5 % fewer patients with complications.
  • 32 % fewer healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
  • 18 % lower inpatient expense per discharge. 
  • 0.4-day shorter average length of stay.
  • A better patient experience at top performing hospitals compared to the remaining peer hospitals, with a top-box Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) score of 73 percent versus 68 percent at peer hospitals.

These outcomes add up to meaningful differences. According to the study’s analysis, if all hospitals operated at the level of this year’s top performers, more than 331,000 additional lives could have been saved, over 611,000 additional patients could have been complication-free and more than $15.1 billion in inpatient costs could have been saved for the 2025 study year.

This analysis is based on Medicare patients included in this study. If the same standards were applied to all inpatients, the impact could have been even greater.

“Premier’s 100 Top Hospitals® program recognizes the dedication of our nation’s top hospitals to consistently deliver high-quality care while working to continuously improve quality, patient experience and operational efficiency,” said David Zito, Premier’s President of Performance Services. “The program’s transparent, non-biased and actionable data helps set benchmarks for hospitals nationwide and enables leaders to make data-driven decisions that benefit patients and the health of communities we serve. Mercy Health – Tiffin Hospital excels across key performance indicators, which can directly lead to higher quality patient outcomes, with fewer readmissions and complications.”

About the Study 

Premier’s 100 Top Hospitals® program focuses on short-term, acute care, non-federal U.S. hospitals that treat a broad spectrum of patients. Researchers evaluated 2,599 short-term, acute care, non-federal U.S. hospitals and health systems. All research was based on the following public data sets: Medicare cost reports, Medicare Provider Analysis and Review (MEDPAR) data, and data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Care Compare website. For complete methodology details, please review the study here.

Eligible hospitals are ranked for performance across nine measures within five domains.

Final rank is determined based on performance for all individual measures. To allow for fair comparison, hospitals are stratified and then ranked within five separate peer groups with a pre-determined number of high-performing hospitals: major teaching hospitals (20 facilities), teaching hospitals (20 facilities), large community hospitals (20 facilities), medium community hospitals (20 facilities) and small community hospitals (20 facilities).
