If all hospitals treated women as well as Winthrop, another 40,000 lives could have been saved.
A recent landmark study* by HealthGrades® , the leading independent
health care ratings organization, of over 5 million Medicare patient records reveals some alarming facts. Following a heart attack, for example, women receive far fewer surgical interventions than men. And when they do, women suffer a 30% higher death rate. Other disturbing disparities were found across 16 of the most common procedures among women.
But women are not powerless. The study made it clear that a small percentage of hospitals is doing a far superior job for women. And saving thousands of lives. Only one of these elite institutions is located in Nassau and Suffolk counties – Winthrop-University Hospital.
