Mortality rates at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre are significantly lower than the national average.
A report issued Thursday by the Canadian Institute for Health Information gives the local hospital a 75 score, which is slightly higher than the 74 it earned in 2010-11.
The hospital standard mortality rate compares the number of actual deaths at a hospital to the expected number of deaths. A score above 100 suggests a higher mortality rate. A score below 100 indicates a lower mortality rate.
