Eight Illinois hospitals have been named among the best 120 in the nation for safety and quality, but some of Chicago’s most prestigious institutions didn’t make the list.

The nonprofit Leapfrog Group lists the facilities.  They include Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Loyola’s Gottlieb Memorial Hospital in Melrose Park, Rush Oak Park Hospital, Amita Health Adventist Medical Center Bolingbrook, Amita Health Adventist Medical Center GlenOaks in Glendale Heights, HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital in Decatur, OSF Holy Family Medical Center in Monmouth and Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center in Mattoon.

Four prominent Chicago hospitals aren’t on the list — Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Rush University Medical Center, University of Chicago Medical Center and Lurie Children’s Hospital.
Two of those hospitals — Northwestern Memorial and University of Chicago Medical Center — made last year’s list. Altogether, seven Illinois hospitals made the cut in 2018.  {Source: Chicago Tribune}
