Mount Auburn Hospital Receives Recognitions from U.S. News & World Report
Mount Auburn Named Top Hospital in Massachusetts
Cambridge, MA – Mount Auburn Hospital has been named as a top hospital in Massachusetts by U.S. News & World Report in its 2024-2025 Best Hospitals. Mount Auburn has also been rated high performing in eight adult procedures and conditions.
"This recognition by U.S. News & World Report would not be possible without the exceptional care provided by our staff," said Ed Huang, MD, President of Mount Auburn Hospital. “We are honored to have the trust of our community and patients to provide care for them.”
U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions; only 11% of evaluated hospitals earned a Best Hospitals ranking. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.
Mount Auburn Hospital was named as the #8 best hospital in the Boston region and the #10 hospital in Massachusetts. Mount Auburn was rated as high performing in eight adult procedures and conditions: congestive heart failure, colon cancer surgery, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart attack, kidney failure, lung cancer surgery, pneumonia and stroke.
To calculate the Best Hospitals rankings, U.S. News evaluated each hospital’s performance on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This year, among other methodology refinements, U.S. News incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on care provided to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of patients included in its annual data analysis. The Procedures & Conditions ratings are based entirely on objective quality measures.
