PINEHURST, N.C. — FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital has been awarded on Newsweek’s list of the World’s Best Hospitals 2025. The award list was announced on Feb. 26. 2025, and can be viewed on Newsweek’s website.
“We are honored to again be recognized among the world’s best hospitals by Newsweek,” said FirstHealth CEO Mickey Foster, MHA.
“This great achievement is reflective of the dedication and expertise of our entire FirstHealth team. Every day, our providers, nurses and staff go above and beyond to provide exceptional care to our patients and communities. This recognition reaffirms our commitment to excellence and inspires us to continue advancing health care for those we serve.”
The World’s Best Hospitals 2025 ranking lists the best hospitals in 30 countries: USA, Germany, Japan, France, Italy, United Kingdom, South Korea, Brazil, India, Spain, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Colombia, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Malaysia, Thailand, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Israel and Singapore.
The countries were selected based on multiple comparability factors, such as standard of living/life expectancy, population size, number of hospitals and data availability. Newsweek and Statista awarded the best hospitals based on four data sources:
- Recommendations from medical experts: Online survey among tens of thousands of doctors, health care professionals and hospital managers in 30 countries
- Results from patient surveys: Survey of patient satisfaction with hospitalization
- Hospital quality metrics: Medical indicators e.g., data on quality of care for treatments, hygiene measures, patient safety and waiting times
- Statista Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) Implementation Survey: Optional online survey on the implementation and use of PROMs in hospitals.
Based on the above four pillars and their respective weights, a final source was calculated for each hospital.
