UCLA MAKES LIST OF TOP HOSPITALS
Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center has been selected as one of the country’s
leading hospitals, and one of the most highly recommended in a number of
medical specialties, in a major survey of physicians across the nation. Th e results
of the survey, conducted by the non-profi t research organization Consumers’ Checkbook,
appears in the May–June issue of AARP Th e Magazine.
“Th is is a wonderful tribute to our entire healthcare team,” says David Feinberg, M.D., chief
executive offi cer and associate vice chancellor of the UCLA Hospital System, “Our physicians
and staff go the extra mile every day to save lives and deliver compassionate care to patients
in our community and from around the world.”
Consumers’ Checkbook surveyed doctors across the United States, asking if they would
recommend that patients seek care at hospitals in other communities for certain extremely
diffi cult cases, and if so, which hospitals they would recommend.
