Hospitals in Southern California accounted for more than half of the best 25 hospitals in the state in new quality rankings from U.S. News & World Report, with Newport Beach’s Hoag hospital and UCI Medical Center in Orange making the Top 10.
More than 4,600 medical facilities around the United States were evaluated to create the annual national “best” list, which also broke out rankings by state and looked at quality of specialty care areas such as cancer, neurosurgery and geriatrics, and procedures including heart surgery and knee replacement.
