| Benchmarks study is based on the 100 Top Hospitals National |

| Balanced Scorecard that evaluates performance in nine areas: |

| patient satisfaction, and adherence to clinical standards of |
| 13 |
| care; and

| annually since 1993; and
|
| 16 |
| WHEREAS, Having a 100 Top Hospital award-winner in DuPage |

| complication, patients are more likely to receive care |
| 19 |
| efficiently at a reasonably comparative cost, and the community |
| 20 |
| can rely on the hospital as a well-managed major employer that |
| 21 |
| will continue to invest in the new technology and services |
| 22 |
| needed by the community; and
