U.S. News & World Report has released its lists of Best Children's Hospitals for 2015-16 across 10 pediatric specialties.
The organization based its rankings on a survey conducted by RTI International that gathered key clinical data from 184 pediatric centers and asked more than 10,000 pediatric specialists where they would send the sickest children in their specialty. Of the 109 centers providing enough clinical information to be evaluated, 83 were ranked in at least one specialty.
