Benjamin Franklin once said that three things were inevitable: weather, death and taxes. I would like to take this opportunity to add one more thing to this list: Going to the hospital. No matter how hard we try, it seems that we will always end up in the hospital at least once in our lives. Fortunately for Kansans, our state is home to several top-notch hospitals that you won’t find anywhere else. Based on rankings from U.S. News, Truven Analytics, Medicare and other sources, the website Health Grove has compiled a list of the best Kansas hospitals, which include:
