Researchers evaluated more than a dozen variables for the index and grouped them into four healthcare factors: whether residents of each city were healthy overall; if consumers had access to healthcare; if local specialists achieved high results in patient satisfaction and physician count per capita; and if patients had access to high-quality hospitals. The rankings used data outlined through the Healthgrades 2019 hospital quality analysis.
Here are the top 10 cities leading the way in healthcare, according to Healthgrades:
- Rochester, Minn.
- Burlington, Vt.
- Charleston, S.C.
- Cincinnati
- Baltimore
- Philadelphia
- Gainesville, Fla.
- Hartford, Conn.
