U.S. News & World Report announced the 2024-25 "Best Hospitals" rankings and ratings on July 16, which evaluated the performance of nearly 5,000 hospitals on measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care.
The new rankings include 466 "Best Regional Hospitals," ranked in states and major metropolitan areas nationwide. The 466 hospitals are either nationally ranked in one of the 11 data-driven Best Hospitals specialties (excluding rehabilitation) or have seven or more ratings of high performing across 20 procedures and conditions. They also must have at least three more high-performing procedures or conditions than below average procedures or conditions.
Overall, Best Hospitals rankings assess 35 medical and surgical services.
Below is a list of top-ranked hospitals by state, in alphabetical order.
