Best Hospitals Honor Roll

Posted July 10, 2008

U.S. News analyzed data on 5,453 medical centers to produce this year's 16 specialty rankings. Only 170 hospitals were ranked in one or more specialties and, of those, just 19 were of Honor Roll caliber. To be in this elite group, which rewards breadth of excellence, a hospital had to achieve high scores in six or more specialties. The order is based on points—a hospital earned 2 points for ranking at or close to the top in a specialty, 1 point if ranked slightly lower.

1	Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore 30 points in 15 specialties
2	Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. 28 points in 15 specialties
3	Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles 25 points in 14 specialties
4	Cleveland Clinic 25 points in 13 specialties
5	Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston 24 points in 12 specialties
