LOS ANGELES, CA — The coronavirus pandemic brought home the importance of access to high-quality health care, Newsweek said with the announcement Thursday of the world's best hospitals, which includes 36 facilities in California. Newsweek partnered with the respected global data research firm Statistica Inc. to compile the ranking, which Global Editor-in-Chief Nancy Cooper said "may be our most important ranking yet" given the demand placed on hospitals during the pandemic. This is the third year Newsweek has released the ranking, topped both globally and in the United States by the famed Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. The list includes 2,000 hospitals in 25 countries that "stand out for their consistent excellence, including distinguished physicians, top-notch nursing care and state-of-the-art technology," Cooper said in the announcement of the list. Of the best hospitals ranked in the United States, 36 Golden State hospitals made the list.

Every hospital received a score, but Newsweek noted the scores are only comparable among hospitals in the same country. For example, a score of 90 percent in one country doesn't necessarily indicate the quality is better than in a hospital in another country that received a score of 87 percent. The top three U.S. hospitals had the same ranking globally, and all 10 of the top U.S. hospitals were among the top 35 in the world, according to the ranking. The Top 10 U.S. hospitals on the ranking are: Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota (No. 1 globally)Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland (No. 2 globally)Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston (No. 3 globally)The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore (No. 5 globally)Stanford Health Care – Stanford Hospital, Stanford, Connecticut (No. 13 globally)Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles, California (No. 17 globally)The Mount Sinai Hospital, New York City (No. 30 globally)University of Michigan Hospitals – Michigan Medicine, Ann Arbor, Michigan (No. 23 globally)Brigham And Women's Hospital, Boston (No. 25 globally)New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell, New York City (No. 33 globally) » Read more on the methodology from Newsweek.
