Magazine honors The Children”s Hospital
U.S. News & World Report recognized The Children’s Hospital as one of the 10 best pediatric hospitals in the nation. The results, announced Wednesday, will appear in the August issue of U.S. News & World Report, which will hit newsstands on July 21.
The hospital qualified for the magazine’s “Honor Roll” in its 2009 edition of America’s Best Children’s Hospitals. The Honor Roll is reserved for hospitals that achieved ranking in all surveyed specialty areas covered by the monthly news publication.
Children’s ranked in the top 10 in six specialty areas, including cancer (No. 10), diabetes and endocrine disorders (No. 10), digestive disorders (No. 5), neonatal care (No. 8), orthopedics (No. and respiratory disorders (No. 5).
Last year, Children’s was ranked No. 7 overall among the nation’s pediatric hospitals. In 2007, it finished at No. 4. Because of a change in how the report was compiled, there was no general numerical ranking this year.
