Best Hospitals 2008
The mission of U.S. News & World Report for the last 18 years has been to categorize institutions that deal with the toughest procedures and conditions and utilize the latest advances in healthcare.
Honor Roll
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.
