Rated by women in your community, we have identified the Top Hospitals for Patient
Experience! Our goal is to help simplify your choice when it comes to healthcare.
Because being treated with the quality of care we expect for ourselves and our families
is not only important, it also affect our health, well-being and healing.
Unlike other hospital accolades, WomenCertified spends hundreds of thousands
of dollars promoting our list, regardless if a hospital promotes their award independently.
Our mission is not driven by profits, but by advocacy to empower women to make smart
hospital choices.
WomenCertified – On a Mission
WomenCertified®, the voice of female consumers, is on a mission to give women
a
collective voice so we can help each other identify businesses that deserve our
loyalty and referrals. We are a trusted referral source for businesses and brands

Being named and recognized as a hospital of choice among women is probably the strongest
and most important consumer message in today’s healthcare marketplace. Considering
that women account for 85% of all healthcare decisions for her and her family, being
a business of choice we trust is smart business. The Top Hospitals for Patient Experience
by WomenCertified® is designed to help women make smart healthcare choices by identifying
those hospitals that are meeting the unique needs, preferences and high standards
set by women.
Our scoring process is unique in that it is the ONLY national list that focuses
on female patient satisfaction. Our process begins with scores derived for each
hospital in the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems
(HCAHPS) database. The score takes a subset of the questions HCAHPS uses that our
research and experience shows are more important to women than to men. We apply
weight to each of those questions to adjust for relative importance to arrive at
a numerical score. The scoring is totally objective and uniform. The 100 best scores
in each of the 4 size categories determine the Award winners.
Our scoring is based on surveys of tens of thousands of women, as well as research
conducted in partnership with the Wharton School of Business on what drives the
consumer experience for women vs. men. This research led to the development of the
Female Consumer Satisfaction Index. Businesses that perform well are awarded the
Women's Choice Award.
