This list is simply ridiculous. Rating “best” hospitals, as US News & World Report does, is a highly subjective process, but this list has almost no major academic medical center, and excludes places such as Mass General, Brigham & Women’s, Hopkins, U Virginia, Emory, U Miami, Wash U (St Louis), U Michigan, Cleveland Clinic, Columbia-Presbyterian, N Y Hospital (Weill Cornell), NYU Med Ctr, UCSF, U Washington (Seattle), etc etc. If none of those are among the “best” hospitals your criteria are seriously flawed.

I agree completely. The list for Massachusetts alone is laughable. And why, pray tell, is the premier hospital in Washington located in Vancouver? It is impossible to take this seriously. Feb. 21, 2020, at 12:30 am Reply
None of the 50 hospitals on the list are in Wisconsin, so the state isn’t listed here. Feb. 20, 2020, at 11:03 am Reply
The 50 best hospitals? According to Healthgrades? So no major teaching hospitals in Boston or New York City? Why would you write this article using Healthgrades which is an extremely subjective source? Mar. 12, 2020, at 6:55 pm Reply
