Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center:
A Top Performing Hospital

Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center continues to be ranked among the best hospitals in Illinois - and the nation.

This means that our patients are getting health care equal to the best in the country.

In a new HealthGrades® study, Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center is recognized for multiple 2009 clinical achievements, including:

• Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence - second consecutive year, 2008-2009
  
  
• In the top five percent of U.S. hospitals for Overall Clinical Excellence
  
  
• 1 of only 18 Illinois hospitals to earn the 2009 distinction
  
  
• 1 of only 270 U.S. hospitals to earn the 2009 distinction

On average, patients treated at the top five percent hospitals are 27 percent less likely to face in-hospital mortality and five percent less likely to suffer from an in-hospital complication than those treated at other hospitals.

The highest ranking hospitals consistently perform better across all procedures and diagnoses studied. This means higher survival rates and fewer post-operative complications or better quality outcomes.

Additional national distinctions include:

• HealthGrades Coronary Intervention Excellence Award™ - second consecutive year, 2008-2009
  
  
• HealthGrades Stroke Care Excellence Award™ - third consecutive year, 2007-2009
  
  
• HealthGrades Critical Care Excellence Award™ - second consecutive year, 2008-2009
  
  
• In the top 10 percent of U.S. hospitals for coronary intervention, stroke care and critical care
  
  
• Five-star rated, the highest level for successful patient outcomes, in eight clinical areas - coronary interventional procedures, hip fracture repair, gastrointestinal procedures and surgeries, and treatment of heart attack, stroke, sepsis, respiratory failure, diabetic acidosis and coma

HealthGrades, the leading independent health care ratings company, independently rated nearly every U.S. hospital for the quality of care for 27 procedures and diagnoses, ranging from angioplasty to treatment of strokes.
