    DENVER, CO, November 15, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Today, HealthONE announced that four of its hospitals - The Medical Center of Aurora, North Suburban Medical Center, Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center and Rose Medical Center - were named Top Performer on Key Quality Measures by The Joint Commission, the leading accreditor of health care organizations in America.

These HealthONE hospitals earned the distinction of Top Performer on Key Quality Measures for attaining and sustaining excellence in accountability measure performance. The ratings are based on an aggregation of accountability measure data reported to The Joint Commission during the 2013 calendar year.

"This is a distinction we are incredibly proud of," said Sylvia Young, CEO of HealthONE and HCA's Continental Division, "because it validates our commitment to improving the quality of life, every day through the work we do at our hospitals. The Joint Commission distinction is a testament to the efforts of our physicians and staff that provide the highest level of care and service to our patients."

This is the fourth year that The Joint Commission has recognized hospitals with this distinction, and North Suburban Medical Center and Rose Medical Center have each been honored every year of the program. This is the second year that The Medical Center of Aurora has been recognized.
