The study looked at 5,000 hospitals and graded them for safety, reputation, patient volume, staffing levels and other factors. Baptist Health South Florida hospitals, including Baptist Hospital, Doctors Hospital, Homestead Hospital and South Miami Hospital, received a combined total of 24 coveted national high-performing medals, more than any other regional health care system.
