1991 best hospitals. A guide to the best.
The 45 hospitals identified as the giants in their specialties are profiled below. Beyond size and daily room rates, you'll find special features from kosher menus to schooling for young patients. The ratio of nurses to beds is one measure of how much TLC you can expect. (Because the ratio reflects full-time employment, the number of nurses per bed on any 8-hour shift will be about one third of that indicated.) Phone numbers are provided so you can follow up with your own questions.
