WATERTOWN, Mass, October 29, 2024 – Recently, US News & World Report released their top 10 Children’s hospitals Honor Roll recognizing the 10 hospitals with the highest rankings across all specialties. US News in collaboration with RTI International, a North Carolina-based research and consulting firm, collected and examined data from 108 children’s hospitals and surveyed thousands of pediatric specialists. The rankings reflect measures such as clinical outcomes, compliance with established best practices, and level and quality of hospital resources directly related to patient care.   

“We’d like to congratulate the top 10 Children’s hospitals named to US News’ honor roll. What all of these hospitals have in common is the use of our Temporal Artery Thermometers which is well known and recognized for not only its high accuracy but also its ease of use, efficiency and user- and patient experience,” said Dr. Francesco Pompei, founder and CEO of Exergen Corporation.
