U.S. News & World Report Rankings
At the Forefront of Medicine
The University of Chicago Medical Center was once again recognized as one of the nation's Best Hospitals by U.S. News & World Report and was the only academic medical center in Illinois to earn the publication's Best Regional Hospital for Community Access designation. Eight adult specialties were recognized as being among the best in the country in the 2026-27 annual U.S. News and World Report rankings.
The eight specialties include cancer, OB-gynecology, gastroenterology and GI surgery, urology, cardiology and heart surgery, pulmonology and lung surgery, diabetes and endocrinology — and orthopaedics, which earned a silver national specialty badge for high performance.
