The best hospitals in the heartland are committed to delivering exceptional medical care with an emphasis on patient safety, quality of services and overall experience.
In addition to these core metrics, which drove our ranking, we took a close look at the financial aspects of care. We evaluated the ranked hospitals on their billing and pricing transparency to identify those that prioritize fairness and clarity. (This data was not factored into our overall score, though.)
The Midwest list draws from our national analysis, in which we evaluated more than 30,000 data points on over 1,000 hospitals.
