Salt Lake City, UT — Five hospitals in Utah’s MountainStar Healthcare network were recognized by Healthgrades for specialty excellence. Collectively, the hospitals earned three 2025 Specialty Excellence Awards and a total of 20 Five-Star ratings in specialty areas.

 As part of the Healthgrades recognition, Ogden Regional Medical Center was named one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery™ for the second straight year (2024-2025), and as one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Spine Surgery™ (2025).
