For the second straight year, Hannibal Regional has been named one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Coronary Intervention care by Healthgrades. Hannibal Regional stands as the only Missouri hospital to receive the award in consecutive years.

In addition, Hannibal Regional was presented the 2017 Joint Replacement Excellence Award for the second year in a row ranking the hospital in the top ten percent nationwide for joint replacement. Accolades include five star recognition for total knee replacement procedures (for the fourth consecutive year) as well as for total hip replacement procedures (for the seventh consecutive year).

“We take great pride in knowing that Hannibal Regional is the only hospital in Missouri to be recognized by Healthgrades two years in a row as one of America’s 100 best hospitals for coronary interventional treatment for heart disease and that we have once again received the Healthgrades Joint Replacement Excellence Award,” said Hannibal Regional President and CEO C.
