US News’ top hospitals by state for 2025-26 – Becker’s Hospital Review | Healthcare News

U.S. News & World Report released its 2025-2026 Best Hospitals rankings and ratings July 29, which included its list of 504 Best Regional Hospitals across 49 states and 95 metropolitan areas.

The latest edition of Best Hospitals, now in its 36th year, evaluated more than 4,400 hospitals on measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care. 

This year’s Best Regional Hospitals list was solely determined by hospitals’ performance across the procedures and conditions ratings. National specialty rankings and expert opinion were not factors in determining which hospitals received recognition.

For the list, U.S. News recognized general hospitals that have earned a High Performing rating in eight or more procedures and conditions and received at least five or more High Performing ratings than Evaluated ratings (formerly Below Average) across procedures and conditions.

Below is a list of the No. 1 hospitals, organized alphabetically by state.

Note: Wyoming does not have any hospitals that met the requirements for inclusion in the regional rankings. This list includes ties.
