Fisher-Titus named one of the best U.S. hospitals

NORWALK — Fisher-Titus has been named to Money's inaugural list of the Best Hospitals in America. They are one of 148 hospitals in the country and one of only four in Ohio. "We are pleased to announce our inclusion on Money's first ever list of the Best Hospitals in America," said Dr. Brent Burkey, president and CEO of Fisher-Titus. "We strive to provide safe, high-quality care for our community and this recognition is a testament to our employees hard work and dedication to doing just that for our patients. In partnership with the Leapfrog Group — a nonprofit that has been vetting hospitals for more than 20 years — the Money (formerly known as Money Magazine) list is designed to spotlight the facilities that consistently deliver the safest, highest-value care for patients. According to Money, the list is meant to give patients peace of mind when making decisions about where to receive their health care. To compile the list, the Leapfrog Group used data from its Hospitals Survey, its Hospital Safety Grade assessment, and public data sources to evaluate hospitals based on a wide range of criteria focusing on safety and quality. Hospitals were eligible for the list if they earned an A letter grade on the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade assessment for fall 2021.
