About the Role

The hospital was nationally ranked as “high performing” in the clinical specialty of geriatrics and in the following seven procedures and conditions: heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure, diabetes, COPD, pneumonia, and stroke. High performing means we were in the top 10% nationally of all evaluated hospitals for that specialty or procedure.
