For 33 years, Best Hospitals continues to evaluate hospitals in more than 30 medical and surgical services. Three new cancer ratings have been added: Ovarian Cancer Surgery, Prostate Cancer Surgery and Uterine Cancer Surgery.

This year, an expanded set of health equity measurements which highlights which hospitals provide more care to low income patients and which have racial disparities in certain surgical outcomes were added.

The rankings highlight the top 20 hospitals named to the Honor Roll for exceptional treatment across different areas of care. Mayo Clinic claimed the top spot for the seventh consecutive year, followed by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center at No. 2 and NYU Langone Hospitals at No. 3. Cleveland Clinic claimed the fourth spot on the Honor Roll. 

Cleveland Clinic ranked No. 1 in Cardiology & Heart Surgery in specialty rankings. The hospital was followed by Mayo Clinic at No. 2 and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center took the No. 3 spot in the category.

“For patients considering their options for where to get care, the Best Hospitals rankings are designed to help them and their medical professionals identify hospitals that excel in the kind of care they may need,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News in a news release. “The new cancer ratings provide patients facing surgery for prostate cancer or gynecological cancer with previously unavailable information to assist them in making a critical health care decision.”

The Best Hospitals methodology and Procedures & Conditions methodology view objective measures such as survival rates, patient experience, level of nursing care and how successfully each hospital helps patients get back home, according to the news release.

Each hospital's performance was evaluated using data provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, American Hospital Association, professional organizations and medical specialists for Best Hospitals. For Procedures & Conditions, ratings are based on objective patient care measures, according to the news release.
