According to the US News 2012-2013 Health Report on the Best Hospitals, Los Angeles residents have much to boast about.  But here’s good news for valley patients- UCLA, one of the leading LA-based hospitals, has extended to the San Fernando Valley and Conejo Valley. It’s ranked as the single best hospital, not only in the entire Los Angeles area, but in California, as well- the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center of Westwood scored 85% in patient satisfaction, a national average of 70%, according to the US News report on the best hospitals.
