On July 28, U.S. News & World Report released its Best Hospitals 2020–21 Honor Roll, and we are pleased to share that The Johns Hopkins Hospital is once again ranked #3 in the nation and #1 in Maryland. Our delivery of exceptional, respectful and innovative care will always be at the core of our mission, and we appreciate the esteemed recognition. This annual U.S. News Best Hospitals ranking assesses the performance of more than 4,500 hospitals in the United States, and — combined with our Best Children’s Hospital ranking — The Johns Hopkins Hospital remains the top-ranked hospital for patients of all ages.

In addition to the Honor Roll, U.S. News nationally ranks hospitals in 16 medical specialties. As those results continue to shift from year to year, we are proud to have four of our medical specialties ranked #1 (up from three last year). Ten are in the top five, and 12 are in the top 10. The rankings are shown to the right.

When it comes to “common care” procedures for adult patients, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Howard County General Hospital, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Sibley Memorial Hospital and Suburban Hospital received the top designation of “high performing” in at least two procedure areas.

On a local level, The Johns Hopkins Hospital is ranked #1 in Maryland, #1 in the Baltimore region and #1 in 15 medical specialties. We extend congratulations to our colleagues at Suburban Hospital, which climbed to #4 in the Washington, D.C., metro region and #7 in Maryland, and Sibley Memorial Hospital, which rose to achieve the #7 ranking in the D.C. area.

We owe a debt of gratitude to each of you for your compassion, sacrifice and consistent effort to advance our promise of medicine.
