CHOP tops ranking of 'Best Children's Hospitals' by US News and World Report
The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia shares the No. 1 spot on U.S.News & World Report’s Honor Roll of the nation's Best Children’s Hospitals. CHOP also ranked first in the nation for neonatology, pulmonology, and diabetes and endocrinology, and in the top 4 for seven other pediatric specialties ranked by the U.S. News survey.
CHOP was one of only three children’s hospitals in the nation to be recognized in all 10 pediatric specialty areas. It is the only hospital in the region to be named to the prestigious U.S. News Honor Roll.

CHOP earned high marks for the quality of its treatment, survival rates, research and other factors. The hospital was also recognized for its “very strong” reputation with specialists and “superior” nurse-patient ratios. Learn more
