Miami Children’s Hospital pediatric specialty
services were once again listed among the
nation’s best, according to
U.S.News & World
Report ’s
2013-14 “America’s Best Children’s
Hospitals” rankings.
Miami Children’s was the only hospital in
Florida to have programs included in all 10
pediatric subspecialty categories ranked by
the publication, including:
• Cancer
• Cardiology and heart surgery
• Diabetes and endocrinology
• Gastroenterology
• Neonatology
• Nephrology
• Neurology and neurosurgery
(ranked 10th nationwide)
• Orthopedics
• Pulmonology
• Urology
And in seven of the 10 categories, no other
program in Florida ranked higher. “Best Children’s
Hospitals” pulls together clinical and operational
data from a lengthy survey completed by the
majority of the 177 hospitals asked to participate
in the 2013-14 rankings. The survey asks hundreds
of questions about survival rates, nurse staffing,
subspecialist availability and many more pieces
of critical information difficult or impossible for
those in charge of a child’s care to find on their
own. The data from the survey is combined with
recommendations from pediatric specialists on
the hospitals they consider best for children with
challenging problems.
