What does it take to be named the world’s best hospital?

According to Newsweek and Statista’s global evaluation of more than 2,500 hospitals across 32 countries, it requires exceptional clinical outcomes, peer recognition from tens of thousands of healthcare professionals, strong patient experience and a deep commitment to measuring what matters most to patients.

Mayo Clinic’s No. 1 ranking for the eighth consecutive year reflects sustained excellence across all of these dimensions and a continued focus on advancing medicine through innovation, data and compassionate care.
