| WHEREAS, The Thomson Reuters 100 Top Hospitals: National | 8 |
| Benchmarks study is based on the 100 Top Hospitals National | 9 |

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

| WHEREAS, The National Benchmarks study has been conducted | 15 |

| 16 |
| WHEREAS, Having a 100 Top Hospital award-winner in DuPage | 17 |

| 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
