Best Hospitals 2009
The mission of U.S. News & World Report for the last several 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 4,861 medical centers to produce this year's 16 specialty rankings. Only 174 hospitals were ranked in one or more specialties and, of those, just 21 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.
