Roane Medical Center Named A “Best-in-State Hospital” by Newsweek

Roane 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.

“We are thrilled and honored to be recognized as one of “America’s Best-in-State Hospitals,” said Jason Pilant, president and chief administrative officer of Roane Medical Center. “Earlier this year, we received a 5-star rating for patient care from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and this additional recognition from Newsweek is yet another testament to the outstanding care we provide our patients. I could not be prouder of our entire team and their dedication to caring for our community.”

“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.
