SEAFORD – TidalHealth is honored to share that Newsweek and Statista have ranked TidalHealth Nanticoke in Seaford as the #2 hospital in the State of Delaware in its “Best-in-State Hospitals 2025 Report.”
The report highlights 700 leading hospitals across the nation, ranked by state, to help healthcare consumers find the most trusted medical facilities.
This year's rankings include facilities in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The rankings were compiled using quality metrics from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the AHA Annual Survey of Hospitals Database, a nationwide online survey among medical professionals, results from HCAHPS patient experience surveys and a voluntary PROMs (Patient-Reported Outcome Measures) implementation survey.
“Being named the second-best hospital in Delaware by Newsweek is a testament to the dedication of our team, including our providers, volunteers and Board leadership, and the trust of our community,” said Penny Short, TidalHealth Nanticoke President. “This recognition reinforces our ongoing commitment to providing exceptional patient care and maintaining high standards in healthcare excellence.”
