SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- On Super Bowl Sunday, February 2nd, for a period of just 24 hours, a new U2 song titled "Invisible" will be globally available via iTunes as a free download to benefit (RED).

This new partnership sees Bank of America committing $10m to (RED), and has resulted in a $10 million match from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as well as $1 million each from both SAP and South Africa's Motsepe Family - bringing the total commitment to $22 million.

"Invisible" is produced by Danger Mouse and mixed by Tom Elmhirst. The video for the track is directed by Mark Romanek (Jay Z - 99 Problems; Johnny Cash - Hurt; Nine Inch Nails - Closer), 60 seconds of which will be shown during a Super Bowl ad break on February 2nd, and on YouTube from 8:00pm GMT the same day.

(RED) was set up to channel funds to the Global Fund to fight Aids, TB and Malaria and has already generated more than $240 million* since being founded in 2006 by Bono and Bobby Shriver. 100% of the funds raised by (RED) go to the Global Fund as no overheads are removed.

*(RED) funds are fighting AIDS in 8 African countries -- Rwanda, Lesotho, Swaziland, Zambia, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa - where they pay for AIDS treatment, testing and prevention services, with a focus on ending mother-to-child transmission of HIV and achieving an AIDS free generation. (RED) and its partners -- from Bank of America, to Starbucks, Apple and more -- are united in a global push to end mother-to-child transmission of the deadly HIV virus by 2015, in accordance with the UN Millennium Development Goals.

Why Views Are Not Enough To Crown The Big Game Advertising Champion

Why Views Are Not Enough To Crown The Big Game Advertising Champion

Touchstorm Releases Daily Leaderboard of Game Day Ads to Track the Effects on Brand Equity

NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As the world's greatest advertising event peaks Sunday night, YouTube is the real scorecard for those ads both before and after the game. But YouTube views alone do not define ad success. The true measure of video sensation comes in the brand's ability to amortize the cost of that ad over weeks of hype, and use it to move from mere awareness to trust. To demonstrate which brands are succeeding, Touchstorm has developed a free, live dashboard that shows which brands are on the leaderboard.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131210/NY30501LOGO-b )

With traditional metrics looking at big game ad views and judging popularity through voting, the Touchstorm Ad-o-Meter, launching this Sunday, takes it much further, tracking the ads creating an audience, not just buzz. Using a four-part formula of views, likability, velocity and subscriber conversion, the Touchstorm Ad-o-Meter will update daily so everyone can track changes as performance unfolds.

"Fox has YouTube to thank for their $4 million ad rates," said Alison Provost, Touchstorm CEO. "We believe 2014 is the tipping point for the big game, where the vapor trail left behind by game-day creative is far more valuable than the TV spot itself. But marketers aren't yet sure how to calculate the real value. We think it's not just about views and shares. It's about whether or not the multimillion-dollar ad spend contributes to the brand's ability to build a deeper, lasting relationship with consumers. To help them do that, we built a live, free dashboard around four key metrics that shows advertisers how their ads are really performing for the brand."

Touchstorm's Ad-o-Meter gives game-day advertisers a level of analysis they have never seen, allowing them to look deeply at their own performance, as well as how it compares to their peers. The web application demonstrates:


-- Views: Not only how many views the main ad receives, but adjunct
creative is combined to arrive at accurate, total view counts.
-- Velocity: How long a brand is able to sustain interest in the ad,
including when that interest peaks and starts to decline.
-- Likability: A comparison view of relative passion generated from each
ad, showing which ads were genuinely more popular with viewers.
-- Subscriber Conversion: Which brands' ads are better at generating
YouTube subscribers, the critical measurement required for a brand to
succeed on YouTube.
On the Ad-o-Meter dashboard, those four metrics are combined and weighted to reveal the Top 10 ads in overall brand effectiveness. Results are expected to change daily as new data appears.

"The real value for brands on the YouTube platform goes beyond views and comes from generating lasting relationships and deeper engagement with consumers," said Greg Spear, Product Architect of the Ad-o-Meter at Touchstorm. "Our Voot software allows us to analyze YouTube videos in a way no one else can, showing precise detail behind the consumer connections those videos are creating for brands."

The live Touchstorm Ad-o-Meter is a part of the Touchstorm Video Index and will be availablebefore the big game Sunday at www.touchstorm.com.

Touchstorm (www.touchstorm.com) is a technology-based services company that builds video audiences for the world's largest brands.

"We Hear Your Voice" to Bridge the Divide between Nations

"We Hear Your Voice" to Bridge the Divide between Nations

Charity single brings together some of the greatest voices in the world to promote humanity's common ground and an international children's charity

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A new musical project hopes to shine a light on humanity's commonalities by bringing together international superstars and major music industry professionals. Planned for an official release on March 12th, "We Hear Your Voice" is a charity single with a powerful message of peace, hope, and unity. Written and produced by recording artist Shani Rigsbee, the single will be internationally released through Cherokee Music Group.

The message behind "We Hear Your Voice" is that nobody is voiceless and that humanity transcends politics and borders. If international recording artists and their fans and followers all unite behind this message, then the divide between nations can begin to be bridged. A short documentary will accompany the music video; it will feature footage of the artists' recording sessions as well as interviews describing their feelings about the venture.

Artists and musicians participating in "We Hear Your Voice" include:


-- Ehsan Aman, pop/rock musician popularly known as "the Bob Dylan of
Afghanistan."
-- Ana Victoria, Latin Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and producer
from Mexico.
-- Andy, Iranian/Armenian and American icon of the Middle East and the
international diaspora.
-- Kenny Aronoff, rock drummer and widely respected studio musician who has
toured with the likes of John Mellencamp, the Smashing Pumpkins, and
more.
-- Sung-Bong Choi, the "Korean Susan Boyle" and classical vocalist who shot
to fame following a viral YouTube video of his appearance on "Korea's
Got Talent."
-- Morris Hayes, keyboardist, songwriter, and producer most known for his
longstanding work with Prince and The New Power Generation (NPG).
-- Ishtar, multi-lingual solo vocalist and lead singer of the France-based
group, Alabina.
-- Liel Kolet, peace advocate and singer from Israel who has been filmed
for a PBS documentary and has performed for Bill Clinton and the Dalai
Lama.
-- Momo Loudiyi, artist, producer, and singer-songwriter from Morocco and
North Africa who has appeared on stages from the Hollywood Bowl to the
New York Symphony Space.
-- Naser Musa, oud virtuoso, songwriter, and singer of Palestinian
heritage.
-- Sonu Nigam, decade-spanning artist from India, often referred to as
Bollywood's best playback singer and the Golden Voice of Indipop.
-- Igor Nikolaev, Russian singer-songwriter and composer with dozens of
albums under his name and over a hundred hits written for other top
artists.
-- Tim Pierce, guitarist who has released his own solo album, Guitarland,
and recorded for artists such as Rick Springfield, Bruce Springsteen,
Shakira, and many others.
-- Jahan Raymond, piano virtuoso of Indian and Jewish heritage who released
a CD in 2012 of original compositions at the age of ten.
-- Shani, American singer-songwriter and creator of the "We Hear Your
Voice" project whose music has spanned four solo pop albums and been
featured in numerous television and film productions, including the 2004
Oscar winner, Crash.
A special acknowledgement also goes out to the multiple Grammy Award-winning producers and recording engineers who were essential to the project, K.C. Porter, Phil Ramone, Don Was, and Tom Weir.

The song, "We Hear Your Voice," first made its debut in front of thousands at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles to a standing ovation. Soon after, the artists were invited to perform the song for His Holiness the Dalai Lama in a major peace concert with some of the world's biggest names.

In addition to spreading its message through the international language of music, the song will have a tangible effect on children's lives all around the world. All net proceeds from digital downloads through Cherokee's distribution partners will be donated to an international charity focused on improving children's welfare.

Updates on the single, including its forthcoming music video and short documentary about its production, can be found on Shani's official website or at "We Hear Your Voice" on Facebook.

Columbia Records To Release About Last Night Soundtrack Available Digitally On February 11th And In Stores March 4th

SOUNDTRACK INCLUDES SONGS FROM JOHN LEGEND, GARY CLARK, JR., THE BRAND NEW HEAVIES AND EMERGING ARTISTS KIM CESARION AND MISHON

NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Columbia Records has announced the release of the About Last Night soundtrack, accompanying the insightful romantic comedy starring Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Regina Hall and Joy Bryant. The original motion picture soundtrack, About Last Night, will be released digitally on February 11(th), 2014 with the physical release set for March 4, 2014. About Last Night will be in theatres nationwide on Valentine's Day, February 14(th), 2014.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140131/NY56873

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140131/NY56873 )

Among its 14 tracks, About Last Night will premiere two never-before-heard songs, "A Million" by John Legend and "Luckiest Man" by Mishon featuring Problem, as well as showcase the upbeat single "Undressed" by emerging artist Kim Cesarion. The soundtrack also includes stand-out tracks such as John Legend's power ballad "This Time," Gary Clark, Jr.'s GRAMMY® Award winning "Please Come Home," and James Brown's funk song "Get Up (I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine)" (see below for track listing).

In the Screen Gems romantic comedy About Last Night - arriving just in time to become the latest Valentine's Day movie classic -- four Los Angeles singles get a thorough workout in the ups and downs of today's dating world. On yet another night of playing wingman to his loud-mouthed best friend Bernie (Kevin Hart), kind-eyed Danny (Michael Ealy) meets Debbie (Joy Bryant), a beautiful, smart and successful woman who is as skittish about relationships as he is. When the chemistry proves to be undeniable, they end up falling into bed together that night ...then another night, and another night.

Against the advice and warnings of Bernie, not to mention Debbie's precocious bestie Joan (Regina Hall), Dan and Debbie make an attempt to navigate life as a couple. What these starry-eyed lovers soon find is that despite their good intentions and genuine feelings for each other, what started out as a casual and intoxicating intimacy quickly falls prey to the usual trappings of togetherness and monogamy.

The romantic comedy stars Kevin Hart (Think Like a Man, Ride Along), Michael Ealy (Think Like a Man, "Almost Human"), Regina Hall (Think Like a Man, The Best Man Holiday), Joy Bryant ("Parenthood," Antwone Fisher), Christopher McDonald (Billy Madison), and Paula Patton (Baggage Claim).

John Newman's "Love Me Again" Achieves Gold Status

John Newman's "Love Me Again" Achieves Gold Status

SiriusXM Hits 1 THE FIRST MAJOR OUTLET IN NORTH AMERICA TO SUPPORT "LOVE ME AGAIN"

FULL-LENGTH ALBUM "TRIBUTE" IN STORES

NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- JOHN NEWMAN's breakout smash "Love Me Again" has just achieved gold certification by the RIAA for digital sales in excess of 500,000. Moreover, early stateside champion SiriusXM Hits 1, which played the song before any major radio outlet,has officially spun the song over 1,000 times since first adding it into regular rotation late last summer. The value and reach of the satellite radio juggernaut has proven a major catalyst for breaking the UK singer, songwriter, and producer, consistently exposing him to a massive American audience before anyone. They also continue playing the single non-stop, fueling his fire even further.

NEWMAN's debut full-length, Tribute [Republic Records], recently hit shelves in the U.S., and the rising soul pop impresario enjoyed a triumphant release week highlighted by a much talked (and tweeted) about performance on NBC's Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Meanwhile, the record peaked at #2 on the iTunes Pop Albums Chart and #5 on the Overall Albums Chart. He also recently enchanted The Ellen DeGeneres Show with another astounding live turn.

About the success of "Love Me Again", Republic Records Executive Vice President Charlie Walk comments, "SiriusXM Hits 1, the nation's most listened to Pop radio platform led the way back in August 2013 with the first spin. 1000 plays later, we thank Kid Kelly and team for believing when no one else did."

Acclaim continues to accumulate for the album.The New York Times penned a rave review of Tribute writing, "He may truly be the inheritor of the flamboyant piano-soul-man tradition, in the vein of Mr. Joel and Elton John (even if piano isn't really his instrument)," while USA Today profiled him in a comprehensive On The Verge feature.

NEWMAN returns to the states for a full headline tour this Spring, performing at theaters and clubs across the country. The run commences on March 27 at 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., and it'll allow audiences the chance to feel that same energy in a close setting. The run coincides with his first appearance at Coachella--April 13 and 20, respectively--where he'll play in front of his biggest North American audience to date.

"Love Me Again" is a bona fide international smash already. It's accumulated over 74 million YouTube/VEVO views to date, and it's gotten the Internet buzzing in a big way as well as gaining steam at Top 40 radio. The track swings from bombastic orchestration to shimmering keys and a resounding horn section. Above the theatrical bounce, his striking voice takes flight. The entire record flaunts a similar swagger and soul, emanating genuine charisma and charm.

In the UK, the song stormed to #1 and remained in the Top 10 for a total of six weeks. Gold certification followed there as well as in eight other territories--Australia, Belgium, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Switzerland, Norway, The Netherlands, Sweden, and New Zealand. Meanwhile, it's gone platinum in the Czech Republic, Norway, and Switzerland and double-platinum in Australia, Italy, and Norway. The track has now topped the iTunes charts not only in the UK but an impressive nineteen other counties, selling over 1,500,000 copies to date. It seems that everybody is succumbing to the sounds of NEWMAN.

Even before the success of "Love Me Again", he had won a legion of fans far and wide having co-written and sang Rudimental's 2012 hit "Feel The Love". This #1 summer smash has now been certified platinum and moved over 800,000 digital downloads in the UK alone.

Top UK Wedding Band Happy Hour Record "The Uncoverable Song"!

Top UK Wedding Band Happy Hour Record "The Uncoverable Song"!

NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME, England, January 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --



How can a young, successful wedding band stand out in a crowded market place and
demonstrate genuine talent and musical ability in just one song? That's the challenge laid
down by Alive Network entertainment agency to one of their popular wedding band's Happy
Hour, with the result that the four lads have just recorded the ultimate 'uncoverable
song', "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. What's even more amazing, no auto tune or pitch
correction was used at all in the bands re-make of the Queen master piece!



It's a daunting task to take on the classic 1975 hit, with its complex mix of heavy
rock and opera, but Happy Hour were more than up to the task. A four-piece party band
based in Essex, Happy Hour have been providing top class wedding entertainment across the
length and breadth of the UK since 2005 and were regional finalists at the Wedding
Industry Awards 2014.



Happy Hour are part of the UK's largest live entertainment booking service, Alive
Network, and work exclusively with the agency under their artist development programme.
Alive Network provide the four Essex lads with everything they could possibly need,
including recording studio time, photo shoots, website design, business development,
performance workshops, business advice and promo video production.



The band is constantly pushing the boundaries with the promotion and marketing and of
their musical services, so with this in mind, the band sought Alive Network's advice on
what to record next. Band leader and founder Richie Cooper wasn't prepared for the
response: "We knew we should really go to town and push ourselves musically for our 2014
promo materials, to maintain our position as one of the UK's most frequently booked
wedding bands. Alive Network suggested we record an epic track which would also be filmed,
so potential customers could see our personalities and hear our quality in a way which
would make us really stand out from other less experienced acts. However, when they
suggested Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' - a song considered by many musicians to be "The
Uncoverable Song" - we nearly fell over!



"It was a terrific challenge, with the operatic vocals pushing our harmony vocals to
the extremes. Luckly all members of the band sing, and our lead guitarist Andy is a choir
leader for 'Rock Choir', described by Decca records as the largest and most popular
contemporary choir in the world, so he helped us break the song apart and create an
arrangement which really worked for us, and which stands up well alongside the original
track!"



"The band are always so amazing to work with, full of enthusiasm, energy and ideas."
says Tom Bishop, the recording studio engineer who recorded Bohemian Rhapsody with Happy
Hour. "We knew this was going to be a real challenge, but the guys worked their socks off
to capture an authentic sounding version of the song, and I was amazed when it came time
to mix the track that we were not going to need any auto-tune or pitch correction to fix
any of the vocal tuning. The public are so used to hearing perfectly tuned vocals on
modern recordings, that's it's very rare to recored any any band without applying a little
vocal tuning polish. This feat in it's self demonstrates the talent of Happy Hour, and
this was a large part of the bands thinking in recording this track - to show off just how
good Alive's function bands are. They certainly pulled out all the stops, and we're all
really pleased with how great their version of this classic track sounds."



On its release in 1975, 'Bohemian Rhapsody" was the most expensive single ever
recorded, and at almost six minutes long, considered unsuitable for radio. However, after
extensive pre-release airplays, the single spent nine weeks at the top of the UK charts,
selling over a million copies. Key to its success was its innovative promo video, which
Happy Hour pay homage to in their own video.



Rich Hearn, Head of Artist Management and Development at Alive Network, is delighted
with the results. "By challenging the lads to take on a iconic song and aim for the
exceptionally high standards of the original, we've created a great showcase for the
musical talents and exceptional energy of Happy Hour. We never wanted to recreate the
original track or 'cover' it, more to give Happy Hour something exceptional to strive
towards, and we are astounded with the results the boys have achieved. Happy Hour have
absolutely no plans to release this as a single, we simply offer it as something for
potential clients to watch, enjoy and appreciate that these guys are really good at what
they do and would be amazing to hire for any party, wedding or corporate event!"



Happy Hour are available for bookings exclusively through Alive Network, and offer a
complete wedding, function or party experience.

PRG Builds the FOX Sports' Massive Times Square Super Bowl Broadcast Studio

PRG Builds the FOX Sports' Massive Times Square Super Bowl Broadcast Studio

FOX Sports commissioned a three-story broadcast center at the top of Super Bowl Boulevard for coverage of Super Bowl XLVIII - the largest non-permanent structure ever erected in Times Square.

ARMONK, N.Y., Jan. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Production Resource Group, L.L.C. (PRG) recently completed the construction of the FOX Sports' Super Bowl Broadcast Center on Super Bowl Boulevard. The three-story structure has been certified by the Times Square Alliance as the largest non-permanent structure every erected in Times Square. The 65' tall, 40' by 40' building is a fully functional broadcast facility, completely climate-controlled, that serves as the New York City broadcast base for FOX Sports' and other FOX Networks' Super Bowl coverage. The week will culminate on game day when FOX Super Bowl Sunday will broadcast live from Times Square.

This impressive facility has 8,100 square feet of usable space, boasts a high-definition broadcast studio with south and north facing 10' by 20' windows for iconic views of the Boulevard. It also features a mini-football field on the roof complete with stadium-style lighting and Astroturf. On the outside of the building are two 12' x 22' PRG Nocturne LED video screens and the west wall is covered with a 30' by 20' PRG Nocturne LED screen located right next to Cleatus, FOX Sports animated robot that stands 16' tall and weighs 1,500lbs.

For this monumental undertaking FOX Sports' trusted PRG, the world's leading supplier of entertainment and event services and technology, to deliver a complete solution. PRG's scope of work included all of the coordination of the onsite construction and project management; providing engineering services; onsite systems integration; scenic fabrication; lighting, video, and audio infrastructure and integration packages.

Upon receiving the rendering of this incredible facility, PRG began collaboration with designer Jeff Hall, and his production design team from the renowned JHD Group, to engineer the components needed to realize this project. PRG's meticulous pre-planning and onsite supervision meant they were able to supply the solutions needed to complete this never before done large-scale project in Times Square.

PRG had trucks scheduled and positioned so that construction could begin in Times Square at 12:01am on Friday 1/17/14. Working in shifts, PRG had 15 site supervisors and five project managers working to oversee the 60-man strong team that built the broadcast facility in Times Square. Construction continued during the snowstorm that dropped 12" of snow on the city. After 27 semi-truck deliveries and seven days of construction, the broadcast studio was turned over to FOX Sports - two days ahead of schedule.

The entire structure was test-built in the PRG New Windsor, NY facility to ensure the smooth onsite construction and that all contingencies were accounted for ahead of time. Anticipating extreme conditions, PRG developed innovative methods for construction. For instance, to make it easier for crews working in heavy clothing and gloves, PRG designed the structure to be easily inter-lockable without the need for many of the smaller tools used in construction.

To keep the project green, PRG used heat pumps to provide heating for the facility. By using four five-ton heat pumps with an electric back up, the studio is comfortably heated for the Fox broadcast team to work in sub-zero temperatures during Super Bowl week. This level of precision coordination and meticulous planning is a hallmark of the service that built PRG's industry leading reputation globally.

Additional photographs; interviews or project information can be arranged by contacting the media contact above.

About Production Resource Group -- Production Resource Group, L.L.C., (PRG) is the world's leading supplier of entertainment and event services and technology to a wide range of markets, including corporate and automotive events, concerts, special events, theatre, television and film, trade shows, and installations, such as theme parks, museums, retail stores and performing arts centers.

Aceso Completes Install of Hospital TV Network at Swedish Health Services, Issaquah Campus

Aceso Completes Install of Hospital TV Network at Swedish Health Services, Issaquah Campus

Premier healthcare software/technology solutions company's digital media integrated video network will engage patients and visitors with educational information and profiles of healthcare providers for one of the top hospitals in the nation

BOSTON, Jan. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston-based Aceso(TM) Interactive has completed the installation of its Hospital TV Network, ("HTV"), at Swedish Health Services, Issaquah, Washington Campus. Aceso's network of digital screens enables patients and visitors to experience HTV's relevant and timely content in common areas, waiting rooms and lobbies. Aceso's engaging and efficient audiovisual solution communicates a caring experience across the entire hospital enterprise to bring patients, visitors and staff closer together.

Aceso and Issaquah collaborated to re-purpose a total of twenty-four high-definition display screens into an interactive digital network, integrating screens in Cafe 1910, the main elevator lobbies, and screens in public waiting areas as well as a new display application for presentation at the 12-screen feature wall in the main lobby. The digital media content platform will engage patients and visitors by allowing participants to interact with screens in real time using their smartphone, but without application software, ("app"). The technology utilizes unique barcodes that provide interactive tools to deploy, monitor, and measure local messaging promoting specific services within the Issaquah facility.

A primary factor in switching to Aceso's HTV solution was the ability to allow hospital staff to easily change and update screen content on their own. The content ranges from physician biographical information to patient educational videos or marketing promotional content on any display screen within the network. This mobile integration adds a new dimension of communication while presenting credible programming from trusted sources that invite patients and visitors into a memorable video experience from multiple distribution platforms. Aceso's cloud-based digital media solution offers a full range of creative options so Issaquah providers can create and manage local messages supporting interactive experiences that bridge digital screens and smartphones.

"The Aceso HTV deployment will provide educational information around services we provide to patients and the skill sets of the providers who offer these services," remarked Chuck Salmon, Issaquah's Chief Executive. "This fully integrated network will provide information on patient safety and quality in the video presentations and deliver a better service to our patients because it gives them more information and a better understanding of our offerings while they are in our facility. HTV content can now direct users to mobile landing pages that contain much more information and interactivity than can be afforded on static screens. By providing information to our patients, we will better serve them when they make a request for a service based on their needs."

"With the installation of the Aceso HTV digital signage solution we now have a dynamic communications channel to deliver timely information to our patients and visitors, eliminating the need for paper materials throughout the facility, especially in our Conference Center," commented Chelsea Westcott, Sr. Finance and Business Development Analyst. "We're especially pleased that we can now make changes and monitor the system anytime, anywhere."

Geoff Fiedler, one of Aceso's Co-Founders and President, remarked about Aceso's HTV Network introduction of mobile technology in a healthcare environment: "The ability for patients and visitors to access our client's content on their mobile device is a critical step in realizing our vision of enabling people to better manage their health whether they are at a health system facility or on the go."

About Swedish-Issaquah:

In its first year of eligibility Swedish Medical Center's Issaquah campus has earned the distinction as one of the 'Top Hospitals' in the nation at providing the highest quality of patient care, according to The Leapfrog Group's annual survey of more than 1,300 hospitals. The designation was awarded to only two hospitals in Washington State. Swedish Issaquah, which opened in 2012, is one of only 55 urban hospitals named as a 'Top Hospital' by Leapfrog, which also recognized 22 top rural hospitals and 13 top children's hospitals. Widely cited as the nation's most competitive hospital quality award, the Top Hospitals designation recognizes hospitals that deliver the highest quality care by preventing medical errors, reducing mortality for high-risk procedures and reducing readmissions for patients. Swedish is affiliated with Providence Health & Services, which is a Catholic, not-for-profit organization founded by the Sisters of Providence in 1856 with 27 hospitals, 214 physician clinics and almost 53,000 employees across five states.
