Watertown, MA, November 24, 2025 – Recently PEP Health unveiled their 2026 US Hospital Rankings for Patient Experience. It is based on real-world patient comments, and the rankings provide a transparent and timely view of which hospitals patients rate most highly, and why. Unlike traditional experience rankings, PEP Health’s list is not based on internal metrics or survey data. Instead, it reflects what patients and families are already saying in their own words, across public review sites, forums, and social media, about their care. Of note 9 out of 10 hospitals in their top 10 use Exergen’s Temporal Artery Thermometers.
“We congratulate the hospitals recognized by PEP Health for excellence in patient care and experience. We’re proud that 90 percent use Exergen’s Temporal Artery Thermometers to support caregivers with fast, accurate, and non-invasive temperature measurement,” said Dr. Francesco Pompei, founder and CEO of Exergen Corporation.
Doctors and nurses prefer Exergen’s Temporal Artery Thermometer because it is clinically accurate, very easy to use, non-invasive, very cost efficient, user- and patient friendly, and improves significantly productivity. The Temporal Artery Thermometers use infrared technology to measure the heat naturally emitting from the skin surface on the forehead specifically from the temporal artery which is positioned 2 mm below the skin. In addition, this method incorporates a patented arterial heat balance system to automatically account for the effects of ambient temperature on the skin.
The top 10 hospitals recognized by PEP Health for Patient Care include:
- St. Francis Medical Center (Midlothian, Va.)
- ECU Health Chowan Hospital (Edenton, N.C.)
- Holzer Medical Center-Gallipolis (Ohio)
- CHI St Luke’s Health-Lakeside Hospital (The Woodlands, Texas)
- Delray Medical Center (Delray Beach, Fla.)
- Providence Saint John’s Health Center (Santa Monica, Calif.)
- Mercyhealth Hospital and Trauma Center-Janesville (Wis.)
