Hospitals Are Contagious

The New York State Department of Health recently released their findings on a new study. They were checking the rate of hospital-acquired infections in specific settings; which typically ranging from 2.5-5 cases per 1,000. In general, city hospital infection rates were comparable to the national average while doing slightly better than hospitals upstate. Admit it. The statistics surprised you, didn’t they? Thought they were going to make you really sick, right? New Yorkers ... stay healthy anyway, despite the not-so-bad local health coverage that's available.
