CLEVELAND – University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospitals has ranked best in the Midwest and #5 in the country in U.S.News & World Report’s first stand-alone “America’s Best Children’s Hospitals” issue which features a detailed ranking of the finest pediatric facilities in the United States. The exclusive data will be published in the magazine’s September 3 issue, on newsstands Monday, August 27, and is available online today at health.usnews.com/pediatrics.
While, in the past, pediatric hospitals have been ranked based on reputation alone in the magazine's annual America’s Best Hospitals issue, this expanded children's hospital ranking is based not only on reputation, but also on data and statistics about hospital performance and quality of care.
“We are very pleased and proud to be consistently ranked among the best children’s hospitals in the country,” said Fred C. Rothstein, MD, president & CEO of University Hospitals Case Medical Center. “The changes in methodology this year, and the new stand-alone issue make this honor even more prestigious, and we know ranking among the top five is truly a testament to the compassionate care and dedication of the talented staff at Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital.”
