Piedmont Fayette has been designated as one of “America’s 50 Best Hospitals” for 2021, according to Healthgrades, an online resource that matches patients with healthcare providers. The award is based on assessments of overall clinical performance across multiple specialties. Piedmont Fayette was among the top 1 percent of approximately 4,500 U.S. hospitals evaluated, and is the only one in Georgia to receive such recognition seven years in a row.
Piedmont Fayette CEO Steve Porter said the honor “means a great deal for our hospital, and our amazing physicians, nurses and staff member, to be recognized during such a challenging time.” The hospital expanded its intensive care unit during the early part of the COVID-19 pandemic and has put special emphasis on its critical care, cardiovascular and pulmonary services in recent years.
