Regional Specialty Rankings
To simplify the search for complex treatments close to home, this year, U.S. News is introducing regional specialty rankings in four key areas, including cancer. These new regional evaluations allow patients to easily identify which nearby, accessible hospitals excel in the specific areas they need most, bridging the gap between national excellence and local accessibility.
“For nearly four decades, U.S. News has helped families and their medical providers navigate complex healthcare decisions,” said Ben Harder, Chief of Health Analysis and Managing Editor at U.S. News. “Because most patients choose providers close to home, this year’s debut of regional specialty rankings in Cancer; Cardiology, Heart & Vascular Surgery; Orthopedics and Rehabilitation gives them an easy new way to evaluate their local options in consultation with their medical providers. U.S. News’ performance-driven metrics ensure American families can confidently find and choose high-quality care, often right in their own communities.”
