Cedars-Sinai once again has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the best hospitals in the nation. The medical center ranked #6 nationally in the magazine's "Best Hospitals 2021-22" analysis, exceeding its rank from last year among a select group of 20 Honor Roll hospitals.
Cedars-Sinai again ranked #2 in the Los Angeles region and #2 in the state.
The U.S. News rankings are based on a variety of measures, including patient outcomes, patient experience, technology and reputation (according to surveyed physicians).

Cedars-Sinai had 11 specialties ranked nationally. The specialty rankings mean that Cedars-Sinai is among the Top 50 hospitals in the nation in these clinical areas.

Three other specialties ranked in the Top 20: ear, nose and throat; gynecology; and neurology and neurosurgery.
Three of the specialties saw their rankings rise from last year, and four again were among the Top 5 nationally: cardiology and heart surgery (#3), gastroenterology and GI surgery (#2), orthopaedics (#3) and pulmonology and lung surgery (#3).
