Grady earned top marks for care in Heart Failure, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Kidney Failure, Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Myeloma, and Stroke – the highest distinction possible in U.S. News’ Procedures & Conditions ratings.
U.S. News’ annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their health care providers in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.
