Spectrum Hospital in Grand Rapids Michigan Ranks in Nation's Top 100 Hospitals

No one wants to get ill and end up in the hospital. But life happens. We get sick, we get in accidents, we fall off

ladders and break bones, we have babies. When this happens it is very comforting to know you have an

excellent hospital in your local area that will be able to care for you until you recover.

Here in Grand Rapids, Michigan we are very fortunate to have one of the nation's best hospitals to care for our

citizens in need of health care. ~ Spectrum Health has 7 Hospitals and more than 140 service sites.

Spectrum Health's 14,000 employees, 1,500 medical staff members and 2,000 volunteers are a major part of

our community and our economy, providing $98.6 million in community benefit during its 2007 fiscal year.

Spectrum Health has earned more than 50 national awards during the past 10 years.

A recent study recognized Spectrum Health as one of the best hospitals in the country for the sixth time in 10 years.

Spectrum Health was included on the list of Thomson Healthcare's 100 Top Hospitals for 2007.

The winners were announced in the March 17, 2008 issue of Modern Healthcare magazine.

The 100 Top Hospitals have higher survival rates, keep more patients complication-free, and have lower expenses-all while maintaining financial stability. Thomson Healthcare estimates that if all Medicare inpatients received the same level of care as those in the 100 Top Hospitals winners:

  • more than 120,000 additional patients would survive each year
  • nore than 138,000 patient complications would be avoided annually
  • expenses would decline by an aggregate $6.2 billion a year
  • the average patient stay would decrease by more than half a day
