hospitals

The number of Missouri hospitals that have made the decision to suddenly close their doors over the past decade is surprising. Sadly, many were located in rural areas in some of the parts of Missouri that needed them most.

2 children's hospitals in Missouri were just ranked among the 10 best in America.

Ever have an instinctive feeling that something inside a building is just not...right. That's what happened during a recent investigation of an abandoned Missouri hospital when the explorers learned they were definitely not alone.

If I were you, I wouldn't take my advice about what Missouri hospital you should trust. Fortunately, you don't have to. Experts that are much smarter than myself have crowned 10 hospitals in Missouri as the best in the state.

Without boring you with a long story, I will share that I once won a contest guessing how many jellybeans were in a jar. That talent has not carried over to guessing how many beds are in Missouri's largest hospital. The true number is actually staggering.

It used to be a fully-functioning hospital in Illinois. Now, it's abandoned awaiting new owners, but urban explorers just shared a bizarre walk through its halls including a very creepy morgue.

I've been fortunate to have nothing but positive experiences at the hospitals I've received care from. Not everyone is so fortunate. The most fundamental thing a hospital should do for you is to keep you safe. In Wisconsin, only 9 hospitals were given a perfect A grade for patient safety.

A few weeks ago, I shared data from the last complete year which revealed only 2 Missouri hospitals received a 'D' rating for patient safety. Brand new data for Spring of 2024 has now been released and it shows that now a half dozen Missouri hospitals have fallen to that nearly bottom category.

Unlike some modern school curriculums, not everyone gets a prize when it comes to hospitals and safety. That's why it's great news that a newly-updated national ranking has given 14 Missouri hospitals a stellar A rating for patient safety.

There's a brand new 2024 ranking of the best hospitals in Missouri. The list crosses the state listing the best places to get medical care from Kansas City to Springfield to Columbia and St. Louis from one of the most prestigious national publications.
