In its 36th year, the annual U.S. News 2025-2026 Best Hospitals study includes the regional evaluation of hospitals at both a state and metro level. This year, U.S. News recognized 504 Best Regional Hospitals across 49 states and 95 metro areas that have demonstrated superior outcomes.

“For most Americans, health care decisions are made close to home. The Best Regional Hospitals rankings underscore the difference high-performing local medical centers make,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News.

Harder added, “These local hospital rankings, entirely performance-driven, equip individuals and their families, in consultation with their medical providers, to choose the highest quality care available in their own communities.”

To determine the Best Hospitals, U.S. News evaluated more than 4,400 hospitals’ performance on objective measures such as:

• Risk-adjusted mortality rates

• Preventable complications

• Level of nursing care
