In the meantime we have learned that a 10 year member of HF passed away from Covid.

His sister contacted us.

RIP mmvvpp. (Mark)

It was nice of his sister to let the HF know.

MA hospitals landed at #6 and #12 respectively. When you break it down by specialty, they show up top 3 especially in mental health and rehab services.

Here is the annual honor roll of US Hospitals: https://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals/rankings

We are incredibly lucky in Boston and in New England to have exceptional health care. I'm very biased since my parents worked for one of the hospitals for 40 years each, my sister put in 5 years and I put in 7 before moving on.

That's probably an accurate list (assuming you're looking at the full state and not just major cities). For example, Georgia has some strong hospitals in Atlanta, but that's mostly because of Emory University. Most of the state is rural, and you're not going to get the same quality of care outside of Atlanta.

This is a huge reason why MA is at the top of the list imo. The community outreach not only by Partners (MGH/Brigham) but also Tufts, Beth Israel, Boston Medical and UMass is the best in the country.

I worked at one of the community hospitals prior to the Brigham taking over and 9 years later, you would never know how outdated and inefficient it was. It is a case study on what happens when someone is willing to invest.

Wow.

IMO it was totally irresponsible of Disney to open. Shame on them

Listening to the service this afternoon makes me prouder to be American than I felt this morning. A well needed reminder of the better angels of our nature. He’s one.
