PHILADELPHIA — The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) has once again been ranked among the top hospitals in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. The publication's annual ranking of hospitals in America lists HUP as one of only 18 hospitals in the nation to be recognized as an “Honor Roll” hospital for its exceptional performance, based on outstanding quality, expertise, technology, and experience. This year, HUP is ranked 11th on the list, which is culled from nearly 5,000 hospitals nationwide.
According to the magazine’s editors, the Honor Roll distinction “signals both rare breadth and rare depth of medical excellence,” with each hospital performing near the top of the rankings in at least half a dozen specialty areas. HUP was also recognized for its outstanding performance in 13 specialties.
In the publication's rating of regional hospitals, all three Penn Medicine hospitals were among the top 10 hospitals in Philadelphia: HUP again topped the list at #1, while Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and Pennsylvania Hospital ranked 4th and 6th respectively. All three Penn Medicine hospitals also ranked among the top 10 hospitals in Pennsylvania.
