Best Hospitals According to Patients & Health Care Providers

Introducing the 2025-2026 WebMD Choice Awards

Methodology Matters

You need information that you can trust when seeking care. The WebMD Choice Awards program is the only healthcare recognition program based solely on the vote of patients and providers within the last year. That’s it. No complicated formulas here. Because we believe that finding best-in-class care should be easy.

Best local hospitals for Specialty Awards

The WebMD Choice Awards recognizes hospital systems that provide superior care in three key specialties. Click the links below to view hospital rankings based on votes from both patients and health care providers.

Best local hospitals for Treatment Awards

In addition to specialty awards, the WebMD Choice Awards also recognize excellence in 16 key treatment areas. Click the links below to view hospitals that were voted top performers in each treatment category.

Hospital systems receive one of three distinct awards based on their WebMD Choice Awards ranking: WebMD Elite Choice for the top health systems that are preferred by patients and physicians two-to-one over competitors for a specific specialty in their local market, WebMD Patient Choice for hospitals in the top 30% of patient preferences, and Medscape Provider Choice for hospitals in the top 30% of health care provider preferences.
