Newswise — With four nationally ranked specialties, Loyola University Medical Center ranks 3rd in Illinois in U.S. News & World Report’s 2014-15 Best Hospital rankings.
Loyola’s four specialties that are ranked among the top 50 in the country are Ear, Nose and Throat, 25th; Cardiology & Heart Surgery, 29th; Urology, 39th; and Cancer, 47th. Loyola’s Cardiology and Heart Surgery program is the only cardiology program in Chicago to be nationally ranked for 12 years in a row. Only three percent of hospitals earn a national ranking in any specialty.
Eight Loyola specialties are high-performing, meaning they are among the top 25 percent of hospitals in these specialties. They are Diabetes & Endocrinology; Gastroenterology & GI Surgery; Geriatrics; Gynecology; Nephrology; Neurology & Neurosurgery; Orthopaedics; and Pulmonology.
Gottlieb Memorial Hospital has four high performing specialties in the new rankings: Geriatrics, Neurology & Neurosurgery, Orthopaedics and Urology. Gottlieb is a member of Loyola University Health System.
U.S. News & World Report’s rankings incorporate measures such as patient survival, safety data and nurse staffing levels. The specialty rankings and data were produced for U.S. News by RTI International, a leading research organization. Using the same data, U.S. News produced the state and metropolitan rankings.
The rankings are available at http://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals and will appear in the U.S. News Best Hospitals 2015 guidebook, available in August.
