“We are proud of the extraordinary devotion and passion demonstrated each and every day at Delnor by physicians, nurses and staff,” said Maureen Bryant, President, Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital. “To be named a Leapfrog Group Top Hospital is another testament to our laser focus on patient engagement, safety, transparency and accountability.”

The selection of Top Hospitals is based on the results of the 2016 Leapfrog Hospital Survey.
