Mayo Clinic leads U.S.News' Best Hospitals list; excels nationally

Mayo Clinic has once again been named a top hospital in the United States by U.S. News & World Report's 2024-2025 "Best Hospitals" rankings, released today. The institution continues to lead in more specialties than any other hospital, with its locations in Rochester and Arizona recognized on the Honor Roll. Additionally, Mayo Clinic ranks No. 1 in state rankings for Minnesota, Arizona, and Florida.

"We're incredibly honored to once again lead in more specialties than any other medical center and be the only healthcare organization with two hospitals on the U.S. News Honor Roll," said Gianrico Farrugia, M.D., president and CEO of Mayo Clinic. "Setting the standard for patient-centered excellence is a tremendous responsibility, and one our teams take very seriously. Our steadfast focus at Mayo Clinic is to globally transform healthcare for people everywhere."

The annual rankings aim to provide information for patients and their doctors to make educated decisions about where to receive care.

Mayo Clinic in Rochester has been included on the Honor Roll since it was first published in 1990. Mayo Clinic in Arizona joins Rochester as an Honor Roll member for the eighth consecutive year.

U.S. News' Honor Roll comprises 20 top U.S. hospitals that earn the most points across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions based on patient experience, survival rates, discharge outcomes, nurse staffing levels, advanced technology use, patient services, and reputation among medical experts. Mayo Clinic in Rochester received more points than any other hospital.

Mayo Clinic also ranks No. 1 in state rankings for Minnesota, Arizona, and Florida. Its Florida location has held this position for eight of the past nine years. Additionally, Mayo Clinic Health System facilities in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and Mankato have been recognized as "Best Regional Hospitals" within their respective regions.

"Mayo Clinic consistently holds the top spot as the leading healthcare provider globally thanks to our staff's constant commitment to placing the needs of our patients above all else," said Sean Dowdy, M.D., chief value officer at Mayo Clinic.

Founded as a single-physician practice in 1864, Mayo Clinic now serves over 1.3 million patients annually from every state and 130 countries through its network of more than 80,000 staff members.
