In their August, 2012, issue, Consumer Reports magazine has rated Boone Hospital Center as the second safest hospital in Missouri.
This is the first time the magazine has rated hospitals for safety. To make their ranking, which included 41 Missouri hospitals, they used a variety of government and independent sources as well as interviews and literature.
