Among 93 integrated medical centers (hospital/medical school combinations), Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple, Texas,
was the most conservative, and NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City the most aggressive in treating people with long-term
chronic conditions in the last two years of life, according to the Dartmouth Atlas. Yet on various quality measures, the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services rates care at Scott & White to be at least as good as that at NYU.
