FOCUS: Check out hospital rankings for Metro Atlanta
By Jack Bernard | Much of my career was spent working with large hospital systems, some of the best in the nation. Professionally, I found it difficult but not impossible to rank hospitals. One simple but reasonably reliable source for potential patients to use is the US News and World Report, which annually lists the best hospitals both nationally and within each state.
