For the twenty-seventh year, U.S. News and World Report (@usnews) released the #BestHospitals list. The 2016-17 rankings include hospitals from around the country known for their excellence in procedures, conditions, and specialties.

The report includes the top 50 centers for each specialty, with a total of 153 hospitals performing at a level of national ranking in one or more specialties.
