CINCINNATI, Ohio — Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center is one of the 10 best overall children’s hospitals in the country, according to the 2009 America’s Best Children’s Hospitals Honor Roll by U.S. News & World Report.
Cincinnati Children’s was one of two Midwest hospitals — including St. Louis Children’s Hospital — ranked in all 10 categories reviewed by the magazine: cancer; diabetes and endocrine disorders; digestive disorders; heart and heart surgery; kidney disorders; neonatal care; neurology and neurosurgery; orthopedics; respiratory disorders; and urology.
“Our success has come from linking research, safety, quality and process improvement to taking better care of kids, improving the patient and family experience, and providing the best value,” James Anderson, president and CEO at Cincinnati Children’s, stated in a release.

This is the second year U.S. News has ranked children’s hospitals. There’s plenty of debate over the ranking’s validity. But it’s hard to debate the public relations benefit it brings to hospitals on the list.
U.S. news creates its rankings based on reputation, outcomes and “care-related measures” including technology and nursing care such as nursing care, and also based on opinions of where physicians would send their sickest patients.
There were 10 hospitals that were ranked in every category.
