Hospital Report Cards

VBCH began reporting hospital quality data in 2004 believing that consumers care about hospital quality and the care they recieve.   Our key initiative through The Leapfrog Group invites 89 hospitals Virginia-wie to complete The Leapfrog Hospital Survey.  visit the site to see the quality of hospitals both nationwide and here in Virginia.  For your convenience, we have published some of the report cards, which follow:
