CINCINNATI (July 16, 2024) – For the tenth consecutive year, The Christ Hospital has been named the number one hospital in the Cincinnati Region by U.S. News & World Report. The hospital also tied for fifth in the state of Ohio for 2024-2025. To find the complete list of the Best Hospitals, click here.
U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions; only 11% of evaluated hospitals earned a Best Hospitals ranking. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.
“We are honored, once again, to be recognized as the best hospital in the Greater Cincinnati region for the tenth consecutive year by U.S. News & World Report,” said Debbie Hayes, President and CEO of The Christ Hospital Health Network. “Our network of talented physicians, clinicians, staff and volunteers continue to do everything it takes to make this distinction possible. To be named the best hospital in Cincinnati for a full decade means patients and peers see our dedication to improving the health of our community by providing exceptional outcomes and the finest experiences all at an affordable cost.”
The Christ Hospital was recognized in the Top 10% in the region for orthopedic care. The Network also ranked as “High Performing” in 14 areas of care for the following procedures/conditions: aortic valve surgery, back surgery, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), colon cancer surgery, heart attack, heart bypass surgery, heart failure, hip replacement, kidney failure, knee replacement, leukemia/lymphoma/myeloma, pneumonia, prostate cancer surgery and stroke. This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings. Patients seeking specialized care in these fields can know they are getting some of the best, award-winning treatment in the region.
To calculate the Best Hospitals rankings, U.S. News evaluated each hospital’s performance on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This year, among other methodology refinements, U.S. News incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on care provided to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of patients included in its annual data analysis. The Procedures & Conditions ratings are based entirely on objective quality measures.
“For 35 years, U.S. News has been a leading resource for patients navigating their health care decisions,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “A 'Best Hospital' recognition empowers patients to seek out medical care from the best of the best to treat their illness or condition.”
