OVERLAND PARK, KAN. – (August 6, 2025) – HCA Midwest Health announced today that Research Medical Center, Overland Park Regional Medical Center, Centerpoint Medical Center, and Menorah Medical Center have been named in U.S. News & World Report’s 2025–2026 Best Hospitals list for High Performing Hospitals. U.S. News & World Report is the global authority in health journalism to help consumers make confident, informed decisions about their care. HCA Midwest Health is the Kansas City area’s largest healthcare provider.
The four HCA Midwest Health hospitals are recognized as High Performing for 11 procedures and conditions:

Kidney Failure - Overland Park Regional Medical Center: Heart Arrhythmia

This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings, and it is designed to assist patients and their health care providers in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures. U.S. News evaluated more than 4,400 hospitals across 15 adult specialties and 22 procedures and conditions; only 38% of evaluated hospitals earned even one such rating. U.S. News’ expanded analysis this year for the Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measured patient outcomes using risk-adjusted data from over 800 million records of patient care.
“We recognize how important these rankings are to patients and families making critical healthcare decisions,” said HCA Midwest Health President Keith Zimmerman. “This recognition from U.S. News & World Report reflects the unwavering commitment of our physicians, nurses, and care teams to delivering exceptional, accessible care every day. As Kansas City’s largest healthcare provider, we are honored to serve our communities and remain focused on advancing quality, outcomes, and the overall health of those who count on us.”
