Committed to Safe, Effective Care

- Nationally ranked in more pediatric specialties than any other Michigan hospital, according to U.S. News & World Report
- CMS “4-star” designation, reflecting how well a hospital performs across different areas of quality, such as treating heart attacks and pneumonia, readmission rates, and safety of care
