Nationally, 37 out of 39 eligible Kaiser Foundation Hospitals – including 14 in Southern California that include Downey Medical Center – were rated “high performing” — among the top 10% to 20% in the nation — for at least one or more of 35 specialties, conditions and procedures.
“These results confirm our commitment to providing safe, compassionate and high-quality care to our patients,” said Michelle Gaskill-Hames, regional president, Kaiser Permanente Southern California and Hawaii, Health Plan and Hospitals. “This couldn’t have happened without the dedication of our physicians and staff, who work hard every day to ensure best-in-class outcomes.”
U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions. Only 11% of evaluated hospitals earned a “Best Hospitals” ranking. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.
“For 35 years, U.S. News has been a leading resource for patients navigating their health care decisions,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “A ‘Best Hospital’ recognition empowers patients to seek out medical care from the best of the best to treat their illness or condition.
Dr. Ramin Davidoff, executive medical director for the Southern California and Hawaii Permanente Medical Groups, noted one reason for this prestigious accolade is due to Kaiser Permanente physicians going the extra mile to provide patients with high-quality, technologically advanced care that is second-to-none.
“What an honor to once again see the high-quality care and incredible dedication of our physicians and care teams recognized,” he said. “We will continue to do everything we can to ensure our members know that when they receive care from us, they can rest assured that they will receive the excellent care they expect and deserve.”
To calculate the Best Hospitals rankings, U.S. News evaluated each hospital’s performance on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care.

Kaiser has killed most of my family. My sister who died in 2022 had Kaiser and she only saw a doctor once in an office in Long Beach and then was sent out for tests only to the Harbor City Kaiser. I had to drive her so I tried to get the test changed to this Downey Kaiser but it had no testing facilities. Kaiser is cheap, but is your life worth so little? By the time my sister changed to another insurance policy, it was really too late and she passed away about 6 months later. I would never get insurance from Kaiser. I’m sure they may have a few good doctors, but what are the chances you will ever see one of them?
