There is no correlation between median age and hospital quality.
Pennsylvania has 3 of the top 20 general hospitals median age 40.3
California has four median age 35.4
NY has three median age 38.1
Texas, big state average age 33.8 none
Florida, big state average age 41.0 none
The top three pediatric hospitals are in states that are in the oldest population quartile.
