The US is home to more than 6,200 hospitals, which can make it difficult to figure out which ones deliver the best medical care and treatment.
Every year, US News compiles a list of the top hospitals in the country, making it easier for readers to find what best suits their needs.
US News provides lists of the best hospitals for specific conditions, as well as an 'Honor Roll' that highlights great hospitals across specialties and procedures. Hospitals earn points if they are nationally ranked in 16 specialties, like cancer care, and "high performing" in the nine procedures and conditions, like heart bypass and lung cancer surgery. The more points earned, the higher the ranking on the honor roll list.
To make the list, the hospitals have performed at a high standard, improving the lives of many. Read on to see the top 20 hospitals in the US, according to US News.
