Seattle Children’s has been recognized as one of the top 10 best children's hospitals in the U.S. and #1 in the Pacific region
SEATTLE, WA – Seattle Children’s has been named by U.S. News & World Report to its 2024-2025 Best Children’s Hospitals Honor Roll, a distinction awarded to only 10 children’s hospitals nationwide. The U.S. News & World Report has been ranking hospitals since 1990, and Seattle Children’s is honored to be ranked among the best children's hospitals in the nation for more than 30 years. The rankings help parents and caregivers, along with their physicians, in navigating the challenges of choosing the best possible care for children with serious illnesses or complex medical needs.
Seattle Children’s has been named by U.S. News as the No. 1 pediatric hospital in the Pacific region and has ranked in the top 10 nationally in pediatric specialties including Cancer, Diabetes and Endocrine Disorders, Gastroenterology and GI Surgery, Nephrology, Neurology and Neurosurgery and Pulmonology.
“As the largest, independent nonprofit children’s hospital in our region, we are committed to providing the highest-quality outcomes for the children and families we serve, and it’s rewarding to see this acknowledged at a national level,” said Seattle Children’s CEO, Dr. Jeff Sperring. “Being recognized as one of the top 10 children’s hospitals in the nation is a testament to the outstanding care our teams provide and our dedication to our mission of providing hope, care, and cures.”
U.S. News, together with RTI International, collected and analyzed data from 108 children’s hospitals and surveyed thousands of pediatric specialists. Children’s hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level and quality of hospital resources directly related to patient care and expert opinion among pediatric specialists.
“For nearly two decades, U.S. News has published Best Children's Hospitals to empower the parents and caregivers of children with complex medical needs,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “Children's hospitals appearing on the U.S. News Honor Roll have a track record of delivering unparalleled specialized care.”
