Nationwide Children’s Hospital Once Again Named on U.S. News & World Report’s 2022-2023 Best Children’s Hospitals Honor Roll

Nationwide Children’s Hospital has once again been named to U.S. News & World Report’s Best Children’s Hospitals Honor Roll. The Honor Roll is a distinction awarded to only 10 children’s hospitals nationwide recognized by U.S. News as the “Best of the Best.” Nationwide Children’s is recognized at number 9 on the Honor Roll list.

The 2022-23 Honor Roll designation marks the ninth consecutive year Nationwide Children’s has received this distinction. The Honor Roll list is based on a hospital’s cumulative ranking in 10 specialties evaluated by U.S. News. Nationwide Children’s is ranked among the nation’s best in all 10 specialties, with five ranked in the top 10.

The annual Best Children’s Hospitals rankings, now in their 16th year, are designed to assist patients, their families and their physicians in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions.

The U.S. News & World Report Best Children’s Hospitals ranking is one means of being recognized for continued progress and improvements in pursuing best outcomes, integrated care and research. Read the press release here.
