Cincinnati Children’s has retained its distinction as the No. 1 children’s hospital for cancer in the country.
The institution tops U.S. News & World Report’s list of best hospitals for pediatric cancer for 2024-2025.
The annual Best Children’s Hospitals rankings are intended to help families of children with life-threatening or rare conditions obtain the best possible medical care.
The rankings highlight the top 50 centers in 11 pediatric specialties: behavioral health, cancer, cardiology and heart surgery, diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology and gastrointestinal surgery, neonatology, nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics, pulmonology and lung surgery, and urology.
Other centers named to the top 10 for cancer care this year are Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Texas Children’s Hospital, Children’s National Hospital, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Children’s Hospital Colorado, Nationwide Children’s Hospital and Seattle Children’s Hospital.
“When confronted with the daunting task of selecting a hospital for their child’s specialized medical needs, parents and caregivers can use U.S. News' evaluation of pediatric hospital performance as a valuable resource,” Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News, said in a press release.
U.S. News & World Report also released its 2024-2025 Best Children’s Hospitals Honor Roll, which recognizes centers that deliver exceptionally high-quality pediatric care across multiple specialties.
Hospitals named to the honor roll — in alphabetical order — include Boston Children’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital Colorado, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Children’s National Hospital, Cincinnati Children’s, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Rady Children’s Hospital, Seattle Children’s Hospital and Texas Children’s Hospital.
“To be named one of the best pediatric hospitals in the nation for more than 15 years is a distinct honor that each and every one of our team members should celebrate,” Steve Davis, MD, MMM, president and CEO of Cincinnati Children's, said in a press release. "Their relentless commitment to our patients and families has made Cincinnati Children's a national leader where the sickest kids around the world can come for the best possible outcomes. I'm so proud to walk the halls of our health system and see researchers, caregivers and support staff collaborating with a 'how might we?' mindset to providing the highest quality care and researching the latest breakthroughs in medicine. These rankings are a reminder for us to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible so that all kids can live their healthiest lives."
The Best Children’s Hospitals rankings take several factors into account, according to a press release. These factors include clinical outcomes, compliance with best practices, and level and quality of hospital resources directly related to patient care.
RTI International, a research and consulting firm based in North Carolina, collected and analyzed data from 108 children’s hospitals and also surveyed several thousand pediatric specialists.
