Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) has ranked again among the nation’s premier destinations for pediatric care, according to the US News and World Report Best Children’s Hospitals annual list released Tuesday.
CHLA not only retained its national No. 5 ranking in US News’ Honor Roll of Best Children’s Hospitals — which recognizes institutions with the most outstanding pediatric clinical care — it continued its four-year streak of being the highest-scoring children’s hospital in the entire Western US.
“To make US News and World Report’s prestigious Best Children’s Hospitals Honor Roll, one must demonstrate the strongest achievements in clinical excellence, with a matchless team of expert, compassionate specialists committed to research and education as well as protocols that drive safety and quality and consistently lead to the best health outcomes for patients,” said Paul S. Viviano, CHLA president and CEO.
“This honor affirms the work of every CHLA team member and our belief that when parents choose Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, they are choosing the best care for kids.”
Every year, US News scores nearly every major hospital and health system in the country and ranks them according to performance benchmarks, peer review, certifications, and other data provided by the hospital and third-party measurements of excellence. Children’s hospitals are ranked separately from other facilities due to the specialized expertise, equipment and facilities required to care for infants, children and youth.
