“There is a deep commitment and long legacy of support for women’s health care at the Brigham and we are thrilled to be recognized as the top OB/GYN specialty in the country,” Nawal Nour, MD, MPH, chair of the department of OB/GYN at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said in a press release from the institution. “Our team of professionals is dedicated to ensuring high-quality, comprehensive and patient-focused care to all of our patients while recognizing each of their individual, and often very personal, needs.”
The hospital — which U.S. News also ranked as No. 14 on its 2022-2023 overall best hospitals honor roll — replaced Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, in the No. 1 spot for hospitals specializing in OB/GYN care. The Mayo Clinic in Rochester retained its high standing as the second-best OB/GYN hospital.
Following Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Mayo Clinic, Rochester, U.S. News ranked the following institutions as the best for OB/GYN care:
