Griffin Hospital, in Derby, has been recognized as one of the “100 Great Community Hospitals” in the U.S. for 2024 by Becker’s Hospital Review.
This annual list recognizes community hospitals as a crucial piece of the overall healthcare system in the U.S., and honors those that excel at optimizing health care, uplifting communities, and providing convenient access for patients.
Griffin Hospital and physicians affiliated with Griffin Faculty Physicians are the safety net for many residents of its communities who have challenges accessing preventive services and care for more emergent issues. Griffin Health has also been a leading institution in the Lower Naugatuck Valley working to address social influencers of health by partnering with other organizations in the region to improve access to healthy foods, obtain stable housing and utility assistance, connect with emergency assistance programs, and sponsor allied health training programs to help individuals improve their personal economic stability. Griffin is committed to addressing the social factors that influence health as an essential part of its mission to provide leadership that improves the overall wellness of the community it serves.
Community hospitals on the 100 Great Community Hospitals are focused on bringing clinical and academic excellence, personalized and holistic care, and overall improved health to their communities. The Becker’s editorial team selected hospitals for inclusion based on nominations and considered several outside rankings and ratings organizations, including U.S. News & World Report, Healthgrades, CMS, The Leapfrog Group, the National Rural Health Association and The Chartis Center for Rural Health.
