When possible, most Americans prefer to access health care close to home, Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News, said in a news release. The local rankings “underscore the difference high-performing local medical centers make,” he said.

U.S. News evaluated 4,400 hospitals and ranked them based on their performance 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.

This year, among other methodology refinements, U.S. News added ratings in two new cohorts, Heart Arrhythmia and Pacemaker Implantation, to the existing Procedures & Conditions ratings, for a new total of 22 ratings.
