that every blood donation has the ability to save up to three lives? This month, Mission Hospital hosted a blood drive with The Blood Connection which collected over 25 units of blood that will go right back to those in WNC who need it most.

Dr. Navneet Majhail, a hematologist and physician-in-chief of blood cancers with the HCA Healthcare Sarah Cannon Cancer Network, recently joined the American Medical Association to discuss why blood donation is essential for treatments that save lives every day.

Do you know what your numbers mean? They can reveal far more about your health than you might think. Blood pressure naturally rises and falls throughout the day, but when it stays high, your risk rises too. 📈 Nearly half of Americans have high blood pressure, often with no symptoms – that’s why high blood pressure is known as the “silent killer.”

What makes a hospital one of Healthgrades 50 Best? For the last 11 years at Mission Hospital, it’s the data that shows our patients live longer and recover faster when compared to other hospitals across the country. Unlike other rankings based on surveys, this recognition is driven by objective, third-party Medicare data showing what matters most to patients, families and providers:

📉 Lower mortality rates compared to risk-adjusted predicted outcomes
📉 Fewer complications, fewer surgical errors and higher recovery rates
🛡️ Top-tier patient safety for preventing hospital-acquired infections, blood clots and respiratory failure

We’re honored to be among the top 1% of hospitals nationwide in patient safety and specialty care, and this achievement would not be possible without the dedication of all our colleagues, physicians and leadership teams. We also thank our patients and WNC community for the trust you place in us every day to care for your health.
