Brigham and Women’s Hospital was named the top hospital in the U.S. for OB/GYN care, according to the 2023-2024 Best Hospitals rankings by U.S. News & World Report.

This is the second year in a row that Brigham and Women’s Hospital has been ranked as No. 1 hospital for OB/GYN care. Before the 2022-2023 rankings, Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, held the No. 1 spot.

“A recent survey of U.S. News users revealed more than four in five (84%) consider a hospital’s quality metrics to be important factors when deciding where to seek treatment for a serious medical issue,” Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News & World Report, said in the press release. “Consumers want useful resources to help them assess which hospital can best meet their specific care needs. The 2023-2024 Best Hospitals rankings offer patients and the physicians with whom they consult a data-driven source for comparing performance in outcomes, patient satisfaction and other metrics that matter to them.”

According to the press release, new in its 34th year, the U.S. News & World Report rankings have begun to include the introduction of outpatient outcomes in key specialty ranking and surgical ratings; the expanded inclusion of other outpatient data; increased weight on objective quality measures; and reduced weight on expert opinion and more.

After Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the following institutions were also ranked as the best for OB/GYN care for 2023-2024 by U.S. News and World Report:

• 2. Johns Hopkins Hospital
• 3. Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota
• 4. Yale New Haven Hospital
• 5. Stanford Health Care-Stanford Hospital

“Helping consumers make decisions that are based on facts and driven by data is the

cornerstone of our mission,” Eric Gertler, executive chairman and CEO of U.S. News & World Report, said in the release. “Our health team, consisting of dedicated journalists and data analysts, has decades of experience supporting patients on their health care journey through the ‘Best Hospitals’ rankings and the deep reporting they do for the many stories that accompany these rankings.
