Cumberland Medical Center was recently named one of “America’s Best-in-State Hospitals for 2025” by Newsweek. Out of 700 hospitals nationwide, it was one of 15 hospitals in Tennessee to recognized.

Newsweek compiles the list using a variety of sources, including quality metrics from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the AHA Annual Survey of Hospitals Database, patient experience surveys and a voluntary survey on patient-reported outcome measures. Additional emphasis was also placed on healthcare equity and accreditation data from The Joint Commission and the American College of Surgeons to ensure representation of the most current data and trends.

“Every team member at Cumberland Medical Center is committed to caring for our patients as if they are our friends or family members,” said Randy Davis, president and chief administrative officer of Cumberland Medical Center. “Our great attitudes and caring spirit shine through in all that we do, and we are so proud to be recognized by Newsweek as the single best hospital in the Upper Cumberland region. Additionally, we are equally proud to be a part of Covenant Health, which has four hospitals in the top fifteen in the state.”

“This year’s rankings celebrate the outstanding hospitals that are setting new standards for patient care and innovation. We’re proud to highlight the facilities making a meaningful impact in their communities by consistently delivering exceptional healthcare,” said Josh Smith, Newsweek’s director of growth and strategic partnerships.

Other Covenant Health hospitals recognized include Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in Knoxville, LeConte Medical Center in Sevierville and Roane Medical Center in Harriman.
