UVA Health earned the 2022-2023 WebMD Patient Choice and Medscape Physician Choice awards.
The awards are based on surveys of consumers and physicians in Virginia, who were asked “to select the health system they believe provides the best overall quality and treatment capability,” according to the WebMD methodology.
“Our mission is to transform health and inspire hope for all Virginians and beyond, and providing high-quality, specialized care is elemental to that mission,” Dr. K. Craig Kent, chief executive officer for UVA Health and UVA’s executive vice president for health affairs, said. “I am proud to see so many teams across UVA Health recognized as a destination for care by WebMD and Medscape.”
Of five specialty areas surveyed, UVA Health and UVA Cancer Center were chosen as leading Virginia health systems in 24 conditions and treatments:
- Oncology: leukemia, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer and skin cancer
- Cardiology: angioplasty, coronary bypass, heart valve replacement and pacemaker or defibrillator placement
- Orthopedics: arthroscopy, hip replacement, knee replacement, rotator cuff repair and spine surgery
- Neurology: back pain relief surgery, brain surgery, microdiscectomy, spinal surgery and sleep disorders
- Gastroenterology: colorectal surgery, esophageal surgery, hernia repair and gastric bypass
