In addition to ranking children’s hospitals overall, U.S. News also ranks the top 50 pediatric hospitals in each of 10 major subspecialty areas including cancer; cardiology and heart surgery; diabetes and endocrinology; gastroenterology and GI surgery; neonatology; nephrology (kidney); neurology and neurosurgery; orthopedics; pulmonology; and urology.
This year, Texas Children’s was ranked in the top 20 for every category. High rankings in a minimum of 3 specialties also qualified Texas Children’s for the 2013-14 Best Children’s Hospitals Honor Roll, a distinction awarded to only 10 children’s centers nationwide.
