For the 18th year in a row, the University of Michigan Health System has been named to the honor roll of "America's Best Hospitals" for adults by the U.S. News & World Report. Overall we placed 17th on the 2012 nationwide honor roll and were named #1 in Michigan and the Detroit metropolitan area. In fact, U-M is the only hospital in Michigan named to the national honor roll - and one of only 8 in the nation to make the honor roll every year.  U.S. News also ranks specific types of medical care individually, and U-M earned a high national ranking in all 16 of these evaluated specialties. Of the 4,825 hospitals considered for the rankings, only 140 made the list in even one specialty.

U.S. News & World Report has once again placed the U-M C.S. Mott Children's Hospital among the best children's hospitals in the country.

Mott is nationally ranked in all 10 of the types of care that U.S. News rated for 2012-2013 and received top rankings in the state of Michigan. The rankings recognize the top 50 children's hospitals in the following medical specialties. Only 76 hospitals were ranked in at least one specialty.
