Cape Cod Hospital Featured In U.S. News MA Hospital Rankings

U.S. News & World Report has released its latest rankings of the best hospitals in the United States, and Cape Cod Hospital was one of 11 featured from Massachusetts.

All the rankings came from data that was derived before the coronavirus pandemic. So the pandemic's impact on hospitals nationwide is not shown in the latest rankings.

"The pandemic has altered, perhaps permanently, how patients get care and from whom they get it. Amid the disruption, we are steadfastly committed to providing the public with authoritative data for comparing hospital quality," said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News. "No hospital's clinical team came through this unprecedented health crisis unscathed."

Cape Cod Hospital was ranked the 11th best Hospital in Massachusetts and received high performance marks in three categories, including cardiac ICU, medical surgery ICU and for its onsite emergency department.
