Shriners Children’s Locations Recognized for Excellence in Pediatric Orthopedics by U.S. News & World Report
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 of children with rare or life-threatening illnesses find the best medical care available.
The following Shriners Children’s locations ranked in pediatric orthopedics:
- #14 – Shriners Children’s St. Louis
- (together with St. Louis Children’s Hospital – Washington University)
- #32 – Shriners Children’s Northern California, Sacramento
- (together with UC Davis Children’s Hospital)
- #39 – Shriners Children’s Salt Lake City
- (together with Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital – University of Utah, Salt Lake City)
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.
"We're thrilled that U.S. News & World Report has recognized Shriners Children's in their 2024 rankings," said Frances A. Farley, M.D., chief medical officer. "This honor underscores the team's steadfast commitment to delivering exceptional, compassionate care to our patients. 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."
To create the pediatric rankings, U.S. News & World Report gathers key clinical data through a detailed survey that looks at measures such as patient safety, infection prevention and adequacy of nurse staffing. In addition, part of each hospital’s score is derived from surveys of thousands of pediatric specialists who are asked where they would send the sickest children in their specialty.
This year’s rankings will be published in the U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Hospitals Guidebook.”
