Children’s Hospital New Orleans has been recognized among Newsweek’s World’s Best Specialized Hospitals for Pediatrics. The ranking program features the top 200 hospitals for pediatrics worldwide, and Children’s Hospital New Orleans is ranked #67 worldwide, and #34 in the United States.
“The Newsweek ranking coupled with our first-ever US News & World Report ranking, and Magnet Designation for nursing excellence, reflect our resolute commitment to provide the highest level of care for kids right here in Louisiana,” said John R. Nickens IV, president and CEO of Children’s Hospital New Orleans. “Our hope is that no child has to leave the state for the expert, lifesaving care they need, and we are incredibly proud to be delivering the highest level of care for more children than ever before.”
This prestigious award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc.
Newsweek and Statista invited more than 40,000 medical experts—including doctors, hospital managers, and healthcare professionals—to participate in online surveys from July – August 2022 that allowed them to recommend and assess various hospitals within their respective specializations. The results of the survey were then validated by a global board of renowned medical experts. The World’s Best list also considered accreditation data and a PROMs survey (patient reported outcome measures) in formulating the results.
