Rogue Regional Medical Center and Three Rivers Medical Center earn top national recognition from U.S. News & World Report and Forbes
MEDFORD, Ore. (Sept. 8, 2026) – Rogue Regional Medical Center and Three Rivers Medical Center have received prestigious recognition from U.S. News & World Report and Forbes, reinforcing their commitment to delivering high-quality care and exceptional patient experiences across southern Oregon.
Rogue Regional and Three Rivers were each named among Forbes' Top Hospitals by State, making Asante one of only a select group of health systems with multiple hospitals represented among Oregon's highest-performing organizations. To be eligible for evaluation on the state list, hospitals were required to have earned a Forbes Overall Hospital Quality Rating (FOHQR) on the national list, which both hospitals achieved earlier this year.
In addition, Rogue Regional received the Best Regional Hospitals for Community Access designation from U.S. News & World Report, becoming the only hospital in Oregon, and one of just 73 hospitals in the country, to earn this distinction. The recognition highlights hospitals with a demonstrated track record of providing high-quality care to patient populations that include underserved and vulnerable groups in their local communities.
"These recognitions reflect the dedication and expertise of our physicians, nurses and caregivers, whose commitment to serving our communities makes achievements like these possible," said Jon Cooper, CEO, Rogue Regional Medical Center. "We are honored to be recognized by both Forbes and U.S. News and proud of the exceptional care our teams provide every day."
The honors underscore Asante's continued focus on delivering high-quality, patient-centered care throughout the region. As demand for health care services continues to grow, Asante remains committed to expanding access, improving outcomes and ensuring patients receive the care they need close to home.
"Being recognized by nationally respected organizations is a testament to our team's unwavering focus on service and excellence," said Patrick Sharp, CEO, Three Rivers Medical Center. "These awards affirm our Mission and improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve."
Asante is a locally owned and governed not-for-profit health system with 6,000 employees providing compassionate care to nearly 600,000 people in a nine-county area of southern Oregon and northern California. Asante includes Asante Physician Partners, Rogue Regional Medical Center in Medford, Three Rivers Medical Center in Grants Pass, Asante Ashland (a satellite location of RRMC) and additional health care locations throughout the region.
