This is a good find - will need to explore this in more detail. This has my small town, local hospital listed + a few others I know about in the area.

This list even included the State Hospital I worked in for so many years but, it is not open to the general public. The listing of it was a surprise; I did not expect it at all.

TY, Cate.

Psych hospitals are the latest investment vehicle in trashing care and profiting off of misery of patients. The medical insurance companies are not discouraging the practice of loading up liability until the state regulatory authorities shut them down. Physical and mental health care centers are being targeted for system wide shut down due to lack of meeting basic criteria for operations. It's called "Pump and Dump", where publicly traded care facilities are next on the chopping block for pumping up stock price then dumping them for profit grabbing. Our health care system is being run into the ground.

Thanx cate, this is a lot better than a site I had. It would be great to find one tho that compared mortality rates & complications with various procedures. Also my hosp does an annual followup survey for the last ten years for a bypass I had. Presumably others also do this and it would useful to be able to compare an analysis of these surveys.
