5 Michigan Hospitals Ranked Among Americas Best For Neurology
I've always driven past hospitals and made the awful joke that it makes no sense that we go to the nicest buildings as were dying or simply to die. Although this is true, it does makes sense for hospitals to be extremely nice as they want people to be hopeful that treatment will help while they're admitted to the hospital but at the same time would you trust a hospital that didn't look nice?
I don't think it would surprise many people in Michigan to hear that at least one of the hospitals in the state was ranked among the best in the country. Most people would probably guess that the University of Michigan hospital in Ann Arbor and they would be correct as both the hospital and university are responsible for producing some of the most renowned doctors in the world. What would surprise some people is that there are 4 other hospitals that were ranked amongst America's best for neurology.
Neurology is one of the most important specialties in all of medicine as these treatments address disorders and other situations that affect the brain and nervous system. Neurological centers and hospitals provide treatment for individuals who suffer brain injuries, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities and multiple sclerosis, other debilitating conditions.
Newsweek has partnered with Statista to create their first ever rankings of the best neurological centers and hospitals in the entire country. The rankings were determined using the following factors:
- Data compiled from health care professionals working in neurology
- Hospital quality metrics
- Results from patient experience surveys
- A Statista survey on whether each facility has implemented Patient-Reported Outcome Measures, or PROMs, to optimize care.
