U.S. News & World Report has released their annual rankings of the Best Hospitals in the United States for 2019. The data-driven rankings, which are now in their 30th year, provide a multidimensional assessment of nearly every hospital in the nation, and are often recognized as the worldwide authority in hospital rankings. The rankings include “best of” lists for twelve specialties—Cancer, Cardiology & Heart Surgery, Diabetes & Endocrinology, Ear, Nose & Throat, Gastroenterology & GI Surgery, Geriatrics, Gynecology, Nephrology, Neurology & Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, Pulmonology & Lung Surgery, and Urology—as well as an Honor Roll, which takes into account both specialty rankings and procedure and condition ratings.
