This year, U.S. News announced 504 Best Regional Hospitals across 49 states and 95 metro areas that have demonstrated superior outcomes. U.S. News evaluated more than 4,400 hospitals across 15 adult specialties and 22 procedures and conditions. Only 13% of evaluated hospitals earned a Best Hospitals designation.

“We are proud and honored to be named as the best hospital system in Greater Cincinnati for the eleventh year in a row and to be ranked third in the entire state of Ohio by U.S. News & World Report,” said Debbie Hayes, President and CEO of The Christ Hospital Health Network. “For more than a decade, our talented physicians, clinicians, team members and volunteers continue to make our network the destination for healthcare in the region. The reputation of the care our patients receive continues to expand outside of the region. We remain dedicated to improving the health of our community by continuing to provide exceptional outcomes and the finest experiences all at an affordable cost so that everyone in this region can have access to exceptional healthcare.”

The Christ Hospital Health Network ranked as high performing in orthopedics and geriatric care for adult specialties. The network ranked as high performing for the following procedures and conditions: abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, aortic valve surgery, back surgery (spinal fusion), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), colon cancer surgery, diabetes, heart arrhythmia, heart attack, heart bypass surgery, heart failure, hip replacement, hip fracture, kidney failure, knee replacement, leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma, lung cancer surgery, pacemaker implantation, pneumonia, prostate cancer surgery, stroke and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

To determine the Best Hospitals, U.S. News analyzed each hospital’s performance based on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from over 800 million records of patient care.

“For more than three decades, U.S. News has been an invaluable guide for patients,” said Managing Editor and Chief of Health Analysis Ben Harder at U.S. News. “With a ‘Best Hospital’ recognition, Americans, in consultation with their medical providers, can confidently choose a regional hospital known for providing superior care for their specific illness or condition.”
