Cleveland Clinic Children’s has been named a national leader in clinical care, according to U.S. News & Report’s 2020 – 2021 “Best Children’s Hospitals” rankings.
Cleveland Clinic Children’s – an integral part of Cleveland Clinic, which was ranked as the nation’s No.4 hospital in 2019 by U.S. News – earned national recognition in 10 specialties: cancer (17), cardiology and heart surgery (15), diabetes and endocrinology (44), gastroenterology and GI surgery (12), neonatology (14), nephrology (35), neurology and neurosurgery (25), orthopedics (26), pulmonology (32) and urology (23).
For 12 consecutive years, Cleveland Clinic Children’s has ranked among the nation’s top 50 pediatric hospitals. This year, four of those specialties ranked in the top 20 in the nation (cancer, gastroenterology and GI surgery, neonatology, and cardiology and heart surgery) and seven of those specialties ranked as best in Northeast Ohio (cancer, cardiology and heart surgery, gastroenterology and GI Surgery, neonatology, nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery, and urology). No children’s hospital in Northeast Ohio ranked in more specialties than Cleveland Clinic Children’s.
“We are incredibly honored to be recognized by U.S. News & World Report,” said Karen Murray, M.D., chair of Cleveland Clinic Children’s. “This is a reflection of the dedication, compassion and hard work of our caregivers to provide the best, high-quality care to our patients and their families. While COVID-19 has transformed our world and the healthcare industry, it has not and will not impact our mission to continue to provide world class care.”
Over the past year, Cleveland Clinic Children’s has been at the forefront of clinical innovation and research in pediatrics. Hospital highlights include:
Cleveland Clinic has cared for infants, children, and adolescents since its doors first opened in 1921. That history of pediatric caregiving has blossomed into Cleveland Clinic Children’s, standing today as one of America’s leading and largest providers of comprehensive pediatric care. Now, it’s more than 300 pediatric specialists and subspecialists– and more than 50 outpatient sites – provide the full spectrum of primary, specialty, and subspecialty pediatric care to the largest patient population of any children’s hospital in Northeast Ohio, and does so with the highest level of family-oriented care, as close to home as possible.
According to U.S. News, the “Best Children’s Hospital” rankings score the top 50 children’s hospitals in 10 specialties, based on clinical and quality data and an annual survey of pediatric specialists. The rankings methodology factors in patient outcomes, such as mortality and infection rates, as well as available clinical resources and compliance with best practices. Pediatric specialists around the country are also asked to provide their opinions on the best hospitals based on their inside knowledge of the delivered healthcare.
