ROCHESTER, Minn. — Mayo Clinic again leads U.S. News & World Report’s "Best Hospitals" rankings for 2025-2026 – the 36th time since the rankings began. This sustained distinction includes a place on the Honor Roll and more specialties ranked in the top three than any other hospital in the nation.
"We are proud to once again be recognized as a leader in healthcare, a reflection of the unwavering commitment of our staff and their dedication to excellence, innovation and putting patients first," says Gianrico Farrugia, M.D., Mayo Clinic president and CEO. "This honor reinforces our continued focus on raising the standard of what’s possible in medicine."
This recognition comes as Mayo Clinic continues to make major investments in shaping the future of healthcare through Mayo Clinic Platform and Bold. Forward. Unbound., which seamlessly blends physical spaces with digital technologies to create new healthcare experiences for patients and staff. This includes integrating artificial intelligence, robotics and automation with a human touch to address patients’ unmet and evolving needs.
U.S. News & World Report’s Honor Roll features the top 20 U.S. hospitals that earn the most points across 15 specialties and 22 procedures and conditions. Mayo Clinic is the only healthcare organization with two hospitals on the list—Mayo Clinic in Arizona marks its ninth consecutive year and Mayo Clinic in Rochester again earned the highest overall point total.
State and regional rankings
Mayo Clinic again ranks No. 1 in the U.S. News state rankings for Minnesota and Arizona and continues to be the top hospital in the Jacksonville metro area. Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, has also been recognized as a "Best Regional Hospital" in Northwestern Wisconsin.
"Being top-ranked year after year isn’t just about accolades – it’s about consistent, reliable excellence," said Sean Dowdy, M.D., chief value officer at Mayo Clinic. "Real quality means providing world-class care, even under pressure and through change. Our teams stay focused on what matters most: the patient."
