U.S. News Published 2010-11 Best Hospitals Rankings

U.S. News Media Group has published its 21st Best Hospital Ranking for year 2010-11 Best Hospitals rankings. This influential annual ranking analysis includes an Honor Roll of 14 hospitals with high scores in six or more specialties, is posted online and will be featured in the August print issue of U.S.News & World Report, which goes on sale July 27.

The mission of Best Hospitals from the start has been to help guide patients who need an especially high level of care because of difficult surgery, a challenging condition, or added risk because of other health problems or age. “When the stakes are high, you want the best care you can get for yourself or someone close to you,” said Health Rankings Editor Avery Comarow. “These hospitals are accustomed to seeing the sickest patients day in and day out.”

This latest ranking showcases 152 different medical centers ranked in one or more of 16 specialties:

• cancer;
• diabetes and endocrinology;
• ear, nose, and throat;
• gastroenterology;
• geriatrics;
• gynecology;
• heart and heart surgery;
• kidney disorders;
• neurology and neurosurgery;
• ophthalmology;
• orthopedics;
• psychiatry;
• pulmonology;
• rehabilitation;
• rheumatology,
• and urology.
