Hospital Rankings Available Online
Tip It!In the interest of remaining healthy, as well as wealthy and wise, I thought y’all might be interested in the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ hospital comparison website. This site, which was launched in April, allows you to assess the quality of care at nearly 4,200 hospitals nationwide. While it currently only covers treatment related to heart attacks, heart failure, and pneumonia, it really is a nice resource. It’s very easy to use, and I’m hoping that they’ll continue adding data related to additional maladies as time goes by.
