Beverly and Addison Gilbert Hospitals have been recognized among the best hospitals for 2015-16 in Massachusetts by U.S. News & World Report.

The annual U.S. News Best Hospitals rankings, now in their 26th year, recognize hospitals that excel in treating the most challenging patients.

U.S. News released the Best Hospital Rankings in Massachusetts that includes 110 hospitals with Beverly and Addison Gilbert Hospitals coming in at No. 6 in the state and No. 5 in the Boston metro region.

“We are proud to be recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top hospitals in the state,” said Beverly Hospital and Addison Gilbert Hospital CEO Philip M.
