      <![CDATA[After taking these rankings w/the same grain of salt that any magazine's institutional rankings get, I must say that I think faint praise for Vandy is curious particularly when St. Thomas-Baptist did not even make the list.<br />
Not only did St. Thomas fail to show, but they failed to show in the top 50 in "Hearts & Heart Surgery," which is one area they claim to be superior to Vandy in. Vandy's rank in hearts?

      <![CDATA[Problem is, former CEO Harry Jacobson placed more emphasis on creating more and more (and more) specialty clinics, not beefing up the capabilities of the specialties the Top 10 hospitals excel in practicing. The hospital has relied on too much "new" and not enough "improved".<br />
Research however, continues to grow.
