The top two hospitals on this year's list held the same spots on last year's list.
This year, the magazine also created separate lists that rank children's hospitals for these specialties: cancer, digestive disorders, heart and heart surgery, neonatal care, neurology and neurosurgery, and respiratory disorders.
The rankings are based on reputation, inpatient death rate for heart and neurology patients, and care-related measures, including nurse staffing, technology availability, and patient volume.
The lists appear on U.S. News & World Report's web site and will appear in the magazine's June 9 edition.
