MORGAN COUNTY
Morgan Medical Center in Madison was recently recognized with six American Heart Association Get With The Guidelines awards and three national distinctions from Becker’s Hospital Review for 2026.
The AHA’s Get With The Guidelines awards evaluate facilities using rigorous methodologies to measure clinical quality and patient outcomes.
The six AHA Get With The Guidelines awards include: Rural Stroke – Gold Award; Rural Coronary Artery Disease NSTE-ACS – Silver Award; Coronary Artery Disease Chest Pain – Bronze Plus Award; Coronary Artery Disease NSTEMI – Bronze Award; Rural Coronary Artery Disease STEMI – Bronze Award; and, Coronary Artery Disease STEMI Referring Center – Bronze Award.
Additionally, Becker’s Hospital Review, a leading hospital trade publication, recently recognized Morgan Medical Center on three of its nationwide lists, naming it among the Cleanest Hospitals in the nation, one of the Top Hospitals for Physician Communication, and one of the Hospitals Patients Would Highly Recommend.
Morgan Medical Center is one of the 765 facilities nationwide — and one of just 20 in Georgia — featured on the Hospitals Patients Would Highly Recommend list, alongside 396 facilities on the Cleanest Hospitals list and 208 on the Top Hospitals for Physician Communication list.
Becker’s Hospital Review compiles its annual lists based on Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems survey data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. To appear on these lists, a hospital must receive a five-star rating in each category.
“Our continued recognition on a national stage directly reflects Morgan Medical Center’s core mission and vision: to make a positive difference in the lives of others and to be a patient-focused center of excellence,” Morgan Medical Center CPA and CEO Ralph A. Castillo said.
“Year after year, our physicians, nurses, and staff prove that living in a rural area shouldn’t mean sacrificing access to top-tier healthcare and sophisticated medicine,” he added. “These recognitions are both a reflection of that commitment and our promise to continue growing and expanding exceptional care for the future.”
