CINCINNATI (WKRC) – U.S. News & World Report ranked a Cincinnati hospital as No. 1 in the region.

The Christ Hospital has been named the No. 1 hospital in the Cincinnati region for the tenth consecutive year. It also tied for fifth best hospital in the State of Ohio for 2024-2025.

The publication evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals, across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions. Only 11% of the evaluated hospitals earned a “Best Hospital” ranking.

“We are honored, once again, to be recognized as the best hospital in the Greater Cincinnati region for the tenth consecutive year by U.S. News & World Report,” said Debbie Hayes, President and CEO of The Christ Hospital Health Network. “Our network of talented physicians, clinicians, staff and volunteers continue to do everything it takes to make this distinction possible. To be named the best hospital in Cincinnati for a full decade means patients and peers see our dedication to improving the health of our community by providing exceptional outcomes and the finest experiences all at an affordable cost.”

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

• Heart attack, heart bypass surgery

• Leukemia/lymphoma/myeloma

To calculate the rankings, the publication evaluated each hospital’s performance on measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, level of nursing care and preventable complications.

“For 35 years, U.S. News has been a leading resource for patients navigating their health care decisions,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “A ‘Best Hospital’ recognition empowers patients to seek out medical care from the best of the best to treat their illness or condition.”
