Shriners Children’s Honored in ‘Best Hospitals’ Rankings

Four locations are recognized by U.S. News & World Report for excellence in pediatric orthopedic care

Shriners Children’s has once again been ranked nationally for pediatric orthopedics in the “2024-2025 Best Children’s Hospitals” rankings published by U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in hospital rankings and consumer advice. The “Best Children’s Hospitals” rankings, which highlight the top 50 centers in 10 pediatric specialties, are designed to help families find the best medical care available for their children.

Shriners Children’s locations received rankings together with their university affiliates.

“This honor underscores Shriners Children’s steadfast commitment to delivering exceptional, compassionate care to our patients,” said Chief Medical Officer Frances A. Farley, M.D. “It’s a testament to the expertise, dedication and culture of excellence we’ve built together in pediatric orthopedics. We’re deeply grateful to everyone involved in this achievement and extend our congratulations to our ranked programs and their affiliates.”

The hospitals were ranked in pediatric orthopedics for treatment of conditions such as scoliosis and spina bifida, and injuries such as complex fractures or other sports injuries. Success with complex fractures, surgical complications and infection prevention account for most of each Shriners Children’s location’s score.
