I keep seeing ads by The Villages Hospital saying that they got a good rating for safety by "healthgrades", but I had doubts that it told the whole story so I went to Healthgrades > Find a Doctor | Doctor Reviews | Hospital Ratings.

Here's what I found concerning infection: There's a chart and it has "sepsis - mortality-based rating" for which TVRH gets one star. One star means: "worse than expected"

Search: Sepsis Definition - Diseases and Conditions - Mayo Clinic
"Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening complication of an infection."

Number of cases 901 (Number of cases may not represent total volume.)

Actual Mortality In Hospital: 14.98%

Mortality Within 30 Days: 19.87%

They also have predicted mortality but I'm not sure what that's about. Check it for yourself to make sure the above information is correct.
