Methodology
The U.S. News & World Report Best Children’s Hospital rankings rely on clinical data from pediatric medical centers through a detailed survey that analyzes measures such as patient safety, infection prevention and adequacy of nurse staffing. In 2025, only 85 children’s hospitals were ranked in at least 11 pediatric specialties evaluated for this annual report. Ten hospitals, including Texas Children’s Hospital, ranked at the top of their class and were named to the 2025-2026 Honor Roll. For more information, visit usnews.com/childrenshospitals.
