The 2010 edition of America's Best Children's Hospitals by U.S. News & World Report once again placed Texas Children's Hospital on the Honor Roll of America's best pediatric institutions. Texas Children's is 1 of only 8 hospitals in the nation to achieve the Honor Roll designation and is the only hospital in Texas – and the entire southern region of the U.S. – awarded this distinction. Texas Children's also ranked in all 10 pediatric specialties evaluated by U.S. News.
