Four Ascension St. Vincent hospitals in Indiana have earned national recognition as 2025-2026 Best Hospitals by U.S. News & World Report, a distinction awarded to only 160 hospitals across 49 states and 95 metro areas.

Recognized for demonstrating superior outcomes in at least one specialty, the honored Ascension St. Vincent facilities include:

  • Ascension St. Vincent Hospital (Indianapolis)

  • Ascension St. Vincent Heart Center (Indianapolis)

  • Ascension St. Vincent Evansville (Evansville)

  • Ascension St. Vincent Carmel (Carmel)

Although not included in this year’s rankings, Ascension St. Vincent also operates a hospital in Fishers, continuing to provide local residents with access to comprehensive care and medical services.

“What sets Ascension St. Vincent hospitals apart is our unwavering commitment to our Mission and the relentless dedication of our physicians and caregivers to provide compassionate, high-quality care to every patient we serve,” said Stephan Masconcup, JD, Chief Strategy Officer for Ascension St. Vincent. “We are extremely proud of our associates and honored to be recognized among the nation’s ‘Best Hospitals,’ a reflection of the healing ministry we live out each day.”

This year, U.S. News evaluated more than 4,400 hospitals nationwide across 15 adult specialties and 22 procedures and conditions. Only about 13% of those hospitals earned a Best Hospitals designation. The rankings are based on objective performance measures including risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications, and nursing care levels, drawing from over 800 million records of patient care.

Ascension St. Vincent operates 19 hospitals across Indiana and a broad network of affiliated medical practices, clinics, and joint ventures. The health system employs more than 13,000 associates statewide. In Fiscal Year 2024, Ascension St. Vincent contributed over $357 million in community benefit programs and care for people living in poverty throughout Indiana.

Ascension St. Vincent is part of Ascension, one of the nation’s largest non-profit Catholic health systems, with 140 hospitals in 18 states and the District of Columbia. In Fiscal Year 2023, Ascension provided $2.2 billion in care for the poor and other community programs.
