AARP Ranks Florida Hospital Orthopaedic Program Top in the Country

FH was listed as one of the nation's top 10 leading hip-knee orthopaedic hospitals in the May/June issue of AARP Modern Maturity magazine. Modern Maturity is America's largest circulation magazine and a monthly publication for the American Association of Retired People (AARP). The issue includes lists of top 10 hospitals in seven key specialties, including hip-knee orthopedic hospitals. FH was the only Central Florida hospital to be recognized.

In the issue, AARP reports the findings of a national nonprofit consumer research and information organization who ranked 1,308 acute care hospitals in metropolitan areas by surveying more than 20,000 physicians nationwide and analyzing statistics from federal records of 30 million patient hospital stays and accreditation scores from JCAHO.

Ken Bradley, FH Senior Vice President, said, "We are thrilled to know that a respected national organization such as AARP recognizes the high quality of patient care provided by the orthopaedic team throughout the FH system. As indicated by our orthopaedic volume, our patients trust us to their care and its nice to know we are receiving such high-level recognition." For more information, visit www.modernmaturity.org.
