Choosing a Hospital

We understand that finding care from providers with proven expertise is important. That's why the Blue Distinction® program was created. This program identifies hospitals and medical facilities that meet high standards.

There are two types of recognitions:

  • Blue Distinction® Centers: Hospitals that have proven their ability to meet high standards of specialty care.
  • Blue Distinction® Centers+: Hospitals that are recognized for meeting high standards of care and for delivering cost-effective care.

Use our Provider Finder to search for a Blue Distinction Center near you.
