Heart and Vascular Get High Scores

Each year children's hospitals across the country enter data in national surveys where various programs and services are ranked. There are two surveys that we concentrate on with US News and World Report and Parent/Child Magazine. This past year the US News and World Report changed their survey to have more focus on data and worked with NACHRI to provide a more objective survey. In the past, the entire ranking was based on a fairly biased technique of using reputation as a score.

We all are very proud of the accomplishments of the Children's Heart and Vascular program and we're thrilled that it has now been recognized nationally. US News and World Report recognized the program as one of the best. With the reputation scores eliminated, the program would have ranked in the top five. This is really no surprise considering our amazing staff, physicians and surgeons working in those areas.

Throughout the next few weeks another survey will be analyzed and completed for Parent Magazine. I have no doubt that the Children's Hospital will be ranked as one of the best again.
