“This honor would not happen without the dedication of our employees, who demonstrate our mission of advancing health to serve Michigan and the world. They go above and beyond to ensure our high standards of quality and safety,” said Runge.

Only 3 percent, or 165 hospitals out of the more than 4,500 evaluated by U.S. News & World Report, earned even one ranked spot.
