Howdy,
I’ve been neglecting this blog for quite some time now, and I guess, I need to start all over again. Good thing, I stumbled upon the list of the considered best hospitals in America. This list is not just in accordance with the hospitals’ facilities or medical personnel in nurse shoes or mens scrubs but above all based from competence in complex demanding situations; often with patients whose age or other health conditions pose their own risks. Just for instance, replacing a heart valve in a man in his 90s, diagnosing and treating a brain tumor, and managing inflammatory bowel disease. Here, I’ll post only the top 5 best hospitals in the USA.
5. Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles (Designed for comfort and efficiency)
Commonly referred to as UCLA Medical Center, which is located on the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles in Los Angeles, California. It has research centers covering nearly all major specialties of medicine as well as dentistry and ophthalmology, and is the primary teaching hospital for the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. The hospital's emergency department is certified as a level I trauma center for adults and pediatrics. Collectively, the hospitals and specialty-care facilities of the UCLA Health System make it among the most comprehensive and advanced healthcare systems in the world. In 2005, the American Nurses Credentialing Center granted the medical center "Magnet" status.
4. Cleveland Clinic
I love their banner:)
