Posted July 7, 200618 yr Kudos to the Clinic. Their rankings keep on improving. 'Best Hospitals' include Clinic Friday, July 07, 2006 Sarah Treffinger Plain Dealer Reporter The Cleveland Clinic is the third-best hospital in the country, and the No. 1 heart center for the 12th straight year, according to a news magazine's annual hospital rankings.

July 9, 200618 yr I think it's pretty safe to say that Cleveland Clinic is again far and away the best hospital in the state. And it's nice to see that we have some pretty good ones! http://www.usnews.com/usnews/health/best-hospitals/tophosp.htm Methodology: What it means to be best By Avery Comarow Good hospital care probably is around the corner, if all you need is a routine procedure—sometimes even major surgery. But a difficult condition or a complex operation demands a higher standard of care, especially if the risk is compounded by advanced age, frailty, obesity, or some other complication.

They conduct bench-to-bedside research. And they exploit the latest advances in imaging, surgical devices, and other technologies...
