How Did These Hospitals Make The List?
For 18 years US News annually ranked Americas medical centers. This ranking makes it easier for patients who are in need of difficult, complex, complicated and life threatening procedures, to select a hospital with the best ratings and experience in that specialty.
These hospitals are called Centers of Excellence.
These hospitals usually care for the toughest patients using advance technology and research.
These hospital Centers are also rated based on their reputation, death rate and other patient care factors such as, patient volume, availability of nurses and credentialing by professional bodies such as, Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health-Care Organizations. (JACHO)
Johns Hopkins Hospital is not only the best hospital for ear, nose and throat care in the U.S.A.
It is also ranked #1 in Urology, Gynecology and Rheumatology.
#2 behind Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami, Florida in Opthalmology.
#2 in Psychiatry, Geriatrics and Neurology and Neurosurgery.
This honor roll hospital also ranks #3 in Respiratory Disorders, Pediatrics, Endocrinology, Digestive Disorders and Cancer.
Having medical care in your local hospital for the standard care and treatment of a condition is an excellent choice.
At your local hospital you will have good care and it will be easier for your family and friends to visit with you and give you their love and support.
However, when you need care for a complex, complicated and difficult procedure, finding the best hospital specializing in the care you need, with advance technology and expert medical and nursing care (even if it is many miles away out of state) is the best way to go.
Hopefully the need for that kind of care may never occur.
