Crouse Health Ranked as One of Nation’s 30 ‘Most Trusted’ Healthcare Brands

Survey based on input from more than 25,000 U.S. household healthcare decision makers Syracuse, NY – Crouse Health has been ranked as one of the 30 most-trusted healthcare brands in the United States according to a just-released research report published by Monigle, an independent healthcare consulting company. Crouse is ranked 26th on the list. Now in its sixth year, Monigle’s Humanizing Brand Experience study examines how healthcare systems throughout the country are enhancing the patient experience to meet the ever-changing healthcare landscape. The report draws on research from more than 25,000 healthcare consumers who evaluated 207 brands across 64 markets to identify the strongest healthcare experiences in the nation.  All health systems in the report were evaluated using Monigle’s Humanizing Brand Experience framework, which asked consumers to share their perceptions across a range of emotional, intellectual and behavioral drivers. Using their feedback as a guide, brand scores were then calculated as a composite based entirely on consumer perceptions, adjusted by market.  The research looked at: “Trust is such a key foundational element in healthcare and it is gratifying to be recognized and listed among industry leaders,” says Crouse President and Chief Executive Officer Seth Kronenberg, MD. “This is validation that our dedicated focus on ‘every moment matters’ is making a difference for our patients, their family members and our community.” Below are the 30 most trusted healthcare brands out of more than 200 brands evaluated in the 2023 study: 1. Emory Healthcare (Atlanta) 2. University of Iowa Health Care (Iowa City) 3. Northwestern Medicine (Chicago) 4. Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Minn.) 5. Johns Hopkins Medicine (Baltimore) 6.
