The Women's Choice Award has released its hospital rankings for 2023, spotlighting thousands of hospitals nationwide for exceptional women's healthcare.
Women make 90 percent of the healthcare decisions for their families, according to the ranking's website. Additionally, women are more likely to feel dismissed by their healthcare provider than men. Thus, the awards seek to simplify their choices by listing which hospitals other women prefer.
Hospitals are chosen based on surveys with tens of thousands of women and research on the consumer experience in conjunction with the Wharton School of Business in Philadelphia.
