U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in hospital rankings and consumer advice, today announced the 2024-2025 Best Hospitals. Now in its 35th year, Best Hospitals evaluates nearly 5,000 hospitals in more than 30 medical and surgical services. U.S. News also evaluated 115 hospitals in Arizona to determine the five best hospitals in Arizona.

The 2024-2025 edition of Best Hospitals highlights 466 Best Regional Hospitals, ranked in states and major metro areas across the U.S. This year, for the first time, U.S. News also identified Best Regional Hospitals for Equitable Access, highlighting 98 hospitals for their success in caring for patients from historically underserved communities. Twenty hospitals with exceptional breadth and depth of excellence make up the Honor Roll. A hospital that has earned a “Best” designation may be a good option for consumers and caregivers, in consultation with their medical provider, to consider.

“Choosing the right hospital to match your needs shouldn’t be a guessing game,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “The 2024-2025 edition of Best Hospitals provides patients and their families clear, data-driven insights on hospital performance and empowers Americans to choose the facility best suited to their specific health care needs.”
