About the America’s Best Hospitals and Specialty Rankings 

U.S. News & World Report began publishing hospital rankings in 1990, as “America’s Best Hospitals,” to identify the medical centers in various specialties best suited to patients whose illnesses pose unusual challenges because of underlying conditions, procedure difficulty, advanced age, or other medical issues that add risk. 

The specialty rankings have appeared annually since 1990, and their focus on identifying hospitals that excel in treating patients with particularly difficult conditions has not changed. To address patients in relatively low-acuity procedures and conditions, a complementary set of ratings, “Best Hospitals: Procedures & Conditions” is available that covers abdominal aortic aneurysm repair; aortic valve surgery; back surgery (spinal fusion); chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; colon cancer surgery; coronary artery bypass surgery; diabetes; gynecological cancer surgery; heart attack; heart failure; hip fracture; hip replacement; kidney failure; knee replacement; leukemia, lymphoma, & myeloma; lung cancer surgery; pneumonia; prostate cancer surgery; stroke; and transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
