Good Samaritan Hospital has been ranked among the top hospitals in Cincinnati according to U.S. News & World Report's first-ever Best Hospitals metro area rankings.
This recognition comes on the tails of Good Samaritan Hospital being ranked #42 nationwide on the 2010-2011 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals list for Diabetes and Endocrinology Care. In addition to the national ranking for diabetes and endocrinology care, Good Samaritan is also being recognized for its expertise in geriatrics, gynecology, orthopedics, pulmonology and urology on U.S. News & World Report’s latest list.
The new metro rankings recognize 622 hospitals in or near major cities with a record of high performance in key medical specialties, including 132 of the 152 hospitals already identified as the best in the nation, of which Good Samaritan Hospital is one. There are nearly 5,000 hospitals nationwide.
To be ranked in its metro area, a hospital had to score in the top 25 percent among its peers in at least one of 16 medical specialties.
“All of these hospitals provide first-rate care for the majority of patients, even those with serious conditions or who need demanding procedures,” says Health Rankings Editor Avery Comarow. “The new Best Hospitals metro rankings can tell you which hospitals are worth considering for most medical problems if you live in or near a major metro area.”
