A small rural hospital is making a big showing alongside Alabama's top medical centers. Newsweek and Statista released their annual hospital report card Thursday, ranking Huntsville Hospital first and Birmingham's Grandview Medical Center second out of Alabama's 112 hospitals. But third place went to Fayette Medical Center, which has just 61 hospital beds. It was also the only Alabama facility to earn an award for patient experience. The rankings weighed hospital safety and quality, recommendations from medical professionals, and patient feedback.
