10 Missouri Hospitals Just Awarded Perfect Grades for Patient Safety

There are few things more important when picking the right medical facility than how safe it is. You need to know that there are 10 Missouri hospitals that have just been awarded a perfect A grade for how they take care of their patients.

Getting an A grade isn't easy - No one knows that better than I do

Here's a sad fact. People seem to respond more to bad news than they do for good news. That's unfortunate because there are 10 Missouri hospitals that really do deserve to be celebrated for excelling when it comes to the safety of those they care for. Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade measures medical facilities using 4 primary categories: errors, injuries, accidents and infections.

You can see all of the grades for Missouri hospitals surveyed for yourself. Why am I not listing them here? Leapfrog licenses their hospital grades for individual use only and not a writer/researcher like I am. It's perfectly fine for you to go look over what they've shared about the safety of Missouri medical facilities. Me? Not so much.

I have been fortunate to have many real doctors in our family (unlike me with the gunfighter nickname) who have been a part of some fine Missouri medical facilities. I know how long and hard they had to study and practice to become doctors and nurses. It's literally a life and death field and we should celebrate those who provide the best care possible. That's exactly what these new safety ratings are all about.
