U.S. News ranked the top centers in cities with 1 million or more residents.
How to Find the Best Hospital Near You
For the first time, U.S. News has ranked hospitals in America's 52 largest metropolitan areas.Some Americans are fortunate enough to live down the street from a world-class hospital. For them, where to go for highly skilled care is clear.
For most of us, though, finding a hospital that offers both excellent care and local convenience has long been a challenge. Healthcare consumers have faced a dearth of reliable information about how the hospitals near them stack up. The problem is most acute in large metropolitan areas, which are crowded with hospitals that offer varying degrees of expertise across a range of medical specialties.
In principle, going to a renowned medical center such as one of the nationally ranked U.S. News Best Hospitals is a solid option. But that could be difficult if it requires travel, expensive if not covered by insurance, and unnecessary except in the most challenging medical cases. No wonder most hospital patients stay close to home.
To take a bite out of their guesswork, U.S. News tapped its latest annual evaluation of the nation's nearly 5,000 hospitals and, for the first time ever, ranked the best ones in the 52 U.S. metropolitan areas with 1 million or more residents. Today's release of those rankings represents the largest expansion of U.S. News Best Hospitals since the annual rankings began more than two decades ago.
