“We are honored to be recognized this year, both regionally and nationally, in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospitals rankings,” says Jonathan S. Lewin, MD, CEO of Emory Healthcare. “Our care team members demonstrate our mission of ‘improving lives and providing hope’ daily as we care for members of our community and beyond. As we continue into the third year of the pandemic, I thank them for their dedication and resilience during challenging times.”

U.S. News & World Report began publishing hospital rankings in 1990, as “America’s Best Hospitals,” to identify medical centers in various specialties that were best suited for patients whose illnesses pose unusual challenges because of underlying conditions, procedure difficulty, advanced age or other medical issues that add risk. Hospitals are assessed in 15 specialty areas for the rankings. In 12 of the 15 specialties, ranking is determined by an extensive data-driven analysis combining performance measures in three primary dimensions of health care: structure, process and outcomes. In the three other specialties, ranking relies solely on expert opinion. Nearly 5,000 hospitals are evaluated each year.

U.S. News & World Report first published Best Regional Hospitals in 2011. Within a state or major metropolitan area, regional hospital rank is determined by a hospital's performance in the national adult specialty rankings analysis and by its scores across 20 procedure and condition areas evaluated.
