It's impossible to be perfect (or so I'm told). But 13 Missouri hospitals just learned they have received a near perfect 'A' grade when it comes to patient safety.
I did so poorly in school that I needed someone to explain to me exactly what it means to get an 'A' grade. That's exactly what's just happened for 22 Illinois hospitals who just received the highest grade possible when it comes to how they provide safety for their patients.
My eyes did a double-take when I saw this as I thought there was no way it could be accurate, but I've learned it is. A new ranking claims the tax burden in Illinois has even surpassed that of California. The numbers don't lie.
My family and I try to go to a zoo every year. Whether it's in Missouri or Illinois, but in figuring out which one to visit this summer I found one Illinois zoo that has more than just animals...it also has ghosts.
