Description
With the widespread use of the internet, information regarding medical facilities
and practices has never been easier to obtain. This convenience may often prove

that ranks the best medical facilities in the country. To accomplish this, we aimed to
analyze the relationship between the hospitals listed on the Honor Roll and the mortality
rates of the counties in which each hospital is located. Upon completion of this research,
we were unable to find a significant difference between mortality rates of counties with
Honor Roll hospitals and those without.
