Which hospital is best ? It ’ s a question most of us don ’ t anticipate having to consider , especially during a sudden ride to the emergency room . But , while most hospitals are filled with capable clinicians and helpful staff ready to diagnose and repair the human body , not all hospitals are equal in terms of expertise , quality of care , amenities , and attention to innovation . To make matters more complicated , certain hospital choices could be considered out-of-network by different health insurance policies . So , determining the best hospital for your needs –– and one that accepts your health insurance –– is paramount . Now for the good news : You have choices .

With that in mind , we bring you our inaugural LIVING WELL Hospital Issue . It ’ s a comprehensive guide to area hospitals , complete with a detailed list of questions to help you determine the hospital most uniquely qualified to deal with your particular needs and preferences . Find out how hospitals in your area measure up –– sooner rather than later .
Speaking of hospitals , our cover celebrity may not be a real doctor , but he certainly knows how to act the part . For 11 seasons , Patrick Dempsey played the dashing role of Dr . Derek Shepherd on Grey ’ s Anatomy . While fan still mourn his departure from that popular show , Dempsey has turned his attention to other endeavors , including working closely with a cancer support center he founded after his mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer . Read all about this acclaimed actor and the Dempsey Center for Hope & Healing inside .
We ’ d be remiss if we didn ’ t offer up our signature educational articles on a range of topics ranging from healthcare to legal advice . You can always count on the area ’ s knowledgeable experts for the latest news and free digital subscription guidance in their specific fields of expertise in the magazine . As always , it ’ s our hope that you find their articles valuable and applicable to your needs .
