50 Best Hospitals in the US
- Jan. 28th, 2011 at 1:45 PM
We all know that the hospital is the last place you want to go, unless you really desperately need to be there. That's where the gnarly infections live.
Healthgrades compared mortality data from hospitals across the US and rated them all. I'm pleased to say that Memorial in Chattanooga, TN, made the list, as well as the Mayo clinic hospital in Phoenix, AZ. The Great Lakes region has a top 50 hospital in every state. Ohio and Florida had the most top hospitals (per state). Not a single OR, WV or NY (et. al.) hospital made the list.

my base hospital is top 5% in the nation in pt safety, does that count?
i think it was with health grades too, but i'm not certain. the hospital is really proud of it and has signs up all over the place. :)
