Objective measures such as patient survival and safety data, the adequacy of nurse staffing levels and quality of nursing care, and other data largely determined the rankings in most specialties.

For the 2021-2022 rankings, U.S. News & World Report evaluated more than 4,750 medical centers nationwide in 15 specialties and 17 procedures and conditions. To learn more about Garnet Health Medical Center, visit garnethealth.org.
