DOVER, N.H. – Wentworth-Douglass Hospital was awarded seven 2023 Women’s Choice Awards Thursday, including a national rank of 32 of 1,012 medium-sized hospitals in patient satisfaction.

Wentworth-Douglass was honored with the “100 Best Hospitals for Patient Experience,” and garnered additional awards for bariatrics, cancer care, mammogram imaging, minimally invasive surgery, obstetrics, and stroke care.

The hospitals’ Breast Health Center in Portsmouth, and Women’s Life Imaging in Somersworth, were both honored for their mammography centers as well.

Among the findings of the group, 83% of patients reported they would “definitely recommend” Wentworth-Douglass. The hospital was also ranked within the top 6% in all the categories in which it was honored, including in the top 1% in mammogram imaging and the top 2% in cancer care, of 4,729 facilities.

The Women’s Choice Awards is the only national list focused on female patients. The awards’ methodology utilizes the most recent publicly available information from The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), as well as accreditation information.  In some cases, the awards utilize surveys of tens of thousands of women, as well as research conducted in partnership with the Wharton School of Business.
