U.S. News introduced the Best Children’s Hospitals rankings in 2007
to help families find the best medical care for their children. They
are the only comprehensive source of quality-related information on
U.S. pediatric centers.
The 11th annual rankings recognize the top 50
pediatric facilities across the U.S. in 10 pediatric specialties.
187 facilities were surveyed for the 2017-18 rankings, with only 82
of them ranking among the top 50 in at least one specialty.

The U.S. News Best Children’s Hospitals rankings rely on clinical
data and on an annual survey of pediatric specialists. The rankings methodology
considers clinical outcomes, such as mortality and infection rates, efficiency
and coordination of care delivery and compliance with "best practices.”
This year’s rankings will be published in the U.S. News & World Report’s “Best
Hospitals 2018.” Visit Best Children’s Hospitals for the complete rankings.
