This year’s rankings include special recognition of the “herculean efforts” by the nation’s healthcare professionals in fighting COVID-19, often at great personal risk.
“The US News Hospital Heroes series is a cornerstone of this year’s rankings package, profiling more than 65 health care heroes from across the country, along with commentary from top executives at hospitals who faced the pandemic head on,” a news release from the magazine explains.
“The pandemic has altered, perhaps permanently, how patients get care and from whom they get it. Amid the disruption, we are steadfastly committed to providing the public with authoritative data for comparing hospital quality,” Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at US News, said in the release.
“No hospital’s clinical team came through this unprecedented health crisis unscathed. Our Hospital Heroes series is a tribute to recognizing individuals at urban and rural hospitals in communities across the country who have gone above and beyond during this unparalleled time in history,” said Harder.
Mayo Clinic Still Number One
Following Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic in Ohio takes the number two spot this year (up from number four last year) in the magazine’s annual honor roll, which highlights hospitals that deliver “exceptional treatment across multiple areas of care.”
Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, holds the number three spot, while New York-Presbyterian Hospital–Columbia and Cornell in New York City and UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles, tie for the number four spot.
Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, which held the number two spot last year, has fallen to number six.

The top 20 hospitals, which deliver exceptional treatment across many areas of care, were also named to the honor roll.

The methodologies are based largely on objective measures, such as risk-adjusted survival and discharge-to-home rates, volume, and quality of nursing, among other care-related indicators.
