Today U.S.News & World Report magazine placed Seattle Children’s among the nation’s top children’s hospitals for the 16th consecutive year. The results were announced as part of U.S.News & World Report’s annual America’s Best Children’s Hospitals issue on newsstands June 2. We were ranked eighth in the country for pediatric care, up one spot from last year’s ranking, and we were the only children’s hospital in the Pacific Northwest to make the list. In addition to the overall hospital ranking for pediatric care, Children’s ranked fifth nationally in providing care for cancer patients, eighth in neurology and neurosurgery, and ninth in respiratory disorders. We also received high ranks for heart care and surgery and neonatal care. America’s Best Children’s Hospitals now includes the 30-top ranked hospitals in cancer, digestive disorders, heart and heart surgery, neonatal care, neurology and neurosurgery, and respiratory disorders. The specialty rankings were based on a new methodology that weighed a three-part blend of reputation, outcome, and care-related measures such as nursing care, advanced technology, credentialing, and other factors.
