LOS ANGELES, CA — Several California hospitals were ranked in a new list from Newsweek identifying the best hospitals in the world.

The magazine’s “World’s Best Hospitals 2019” list was created in partnership with Statista, a global market research and consumer data company. According to Newsweek, 1,000 hospitals from around the world were selected for the list “based on recommendations from medical professionals, patient survey results and medical performance indicators.”
