Hospitals That Don’t Share Data
Of the more than 1,000 U.S. hospitals where adult heart surgery is performed, about 65 percent share
their mortality and complication rates with Consumer Reports or the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, a
professional group for heart surgeons. Last year 30 large hospitals didn’t share that data with CR
or the STS. This year 12 didn’t:

• Arkansas Heart Hospital, Little Rock
• Baptist Memorial Hospital-Memphis, Tennessee
• Forrest General Hospital, Hattiesburg, Miss.
• Kansas Heart Hospital, Wichita
• Leesburg Regional Medical Center, Florida
• Methodist Hospital, San Antonio
• Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami Beach, Fla.
• New Hanover Regional Medical Center, Wilmington, N.C.
• OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital, Columbus
• Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center & Children’s Hospital, Spokane, Wash.
• Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Hartford, Conn.
• St. Vincent’s Medical Center Riverside, Jacksonville, Fla.
