Heartland Spine & Specialty
Why is Heartland Spine & Specialty Hospital, Overland Park KS not included in this survey? They recently received the the Summitt Award from Press Ganey for ranking in the 95% for the past three years?
NE Baptist Hospital
As my husband has had a spine surgery and two knees replaced recently (we are rebuilding him), I am in agreement with the ranking of NE England Baptist Hospital. I cannot write enough about the doctors, nurses and even the food...
MAYO CLINIC , PHOENIX "NURSES"
Just wanted to agree, that the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix has highly rated nurses that shows they care for their patients.
Very nice to see them get the reconization they deserve...
It would be nice if their management would honor them in some outstanding way for this national achievement......
