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.
As I recall from my educational years, 'D' is a passing grade, but just barely. That's the grade that 8 Illinois hospitals just received as they were ranked for patient safety.
When it comes to hospital safety, you definitely want a passing grade. For 2 Missouri hospitals, they received 'D' ratings in a new ranking of all the health facilities in the state.
There is a good reason why medical facilities are held to the highest standards. They are literally the difference between life and death for many. That's why the new ranking of the 10 hospitals in Illinois that are the absolute best is important.
There's a brand new 2024 ranking of the best hospitals in Missouri. The list crosses the state listing the best places to get medical care from Kansas City to Springfield to Columbia and St. Louis from one of the most prestigious national publications.
The Fall 2023 safety grades have been released for all the hospitals in Illinois, and there were tons of A grades, but 8 hospitals in the Land of Lincoln received a dreaded D grade...which hospitals should you avoid in Illinois?
Were you not allowed to be in the hospital or nursing home with a loved one during the COVID-19 pandemic due to hospital procedures? Well, that could all change in the Show-Me State of Missouri.
Over 5,000 hospitals nationwide were evaluated for this list but only 20 made the list of the Best Hospitals in 2021-2022, and two of them are here in the Land of Lincoln.
