Watertown, MA, January 01, 2026 – As policy uncertainties continue, reimbursement pressures and continued cuts and closures weigh on hospitals and health systems heading into 2026, some are experiencing third-quarter operating margin gains. Of note, all of them are using Exergen’s Temporal Artery Thermometers. “At a time when hospitals nationwide are facing financial and operational pressures, we commend the health systems that achieved third-quarter operating margin gains while delivering patient care,” said Dr. Francesco Pompei, Founder and CEO of Exergen Corporation. “We are proud that these organizations rely on Exergen’s Temporal Artery Thermometers as part of their clinical workflow. Their success reflects a commitment to efficiency, accuracy, and innovation. It is Exergen’s mission to support clinicians with fast, non-invasive, and clinically proven accurate temperature measurement solutions.” 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. Below is a ranking of 20 health systems based on their operating margins for the third quarter of 2025.
