For the seventh consecutive year, Johns Hopkins has been named the best hospital for rheumatology in the United States by U.S. News & World Report.
The publication’s Best Hospitals Survey for 2024-2025 also saw the Cleveland Clinic climb past the Hospital of Special Surgery to reach the No. 2 spot, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital surpass the Mayo Clinic to reach No. 4. The rheumatology rankings were based on expert opinion, while other specialties factored in various performance data, according to a release from U.S. News.
“Choosing the right hospital to match your needs shouldn't be a guessing game,” Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News & World Report, said in the release. “The 2024-2025 edition of Best Hospitals provides patients and their families clear, data-driven insights on hospital performance and empowers Americans to choose the facility best suited to their specific health care needs.”
The best hospitals report involved the evaluation of nearly 5,000 hospitals across more than 30 specialties, according to the release. Most were ranked according to objective performance measures, though rankings for rheumatology, psychiatry and ophthalmology centers were determined through expert opinion via physician surveys.
Johns Hopkins was also named to the U.S. News & World Report “Honor Roll” by being ranked the best hospital in the state of Maryland, and was ranked the fifth best hospital for neurology and neurosurgery.
