July 19, 2011 -- Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore ranks first in the U.S. News and World Report 2011-2012 "honor roll" of top hospitals in the U.S.

The list is based on performance statistics in 16 medical specialties in 94 metropolitan areas.

"These are referral centers where other hospitals send their sickest patients," says Avery Comarow, editor of U.S. News Health Rankings. "Hospitals like these are ones you or those close to you should consider when the stakes are high."

Only 17 hospitals made the national honor roll, including two that tied:

Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. Cleveland Clinic Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles New York-Presbyterian University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell, N.Y. UCSF Medical Center, San Francisco Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston Duke University Medical Center, Durham, N.C. Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Barnes-Jewish Hospital/Washington University, St. Louis UPMC-University of Pittsburgh Medical Center University of Washington Medical Center, Seattle University of Michigan Hospitals and Health Centers, Ann Arbor (tie) Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville (tie) Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York Stanford Hospital and Clinics, Stanford, Calif.

The rankings are based on a survey by U.S. News and World Report of nearly 10,000 specialists and data from almost 5,000 hospitals. Death rates, patient safety, and hospital reputation were among the factors considered.

U.S. News and World Report says in a news release that only 140 hospitals were nationally ranked in one or more specialties, and that its "honor roll" features the 17 that scored near the top in at least six categories. The honor roll distinction, U.S. News and World Report says, signals both rare breadth and rare depth of medical excellence. Top Hospitals by Specialty

The magazine also released information on 94 hospitals with solid performance to provide consumers with information about hospitals within their community and in their insurance network.

Here is a list of the top hospital in each specialty used to compile the honor roll.

I had my transplant at Vanderbilt 3 1/2 yrs. ago.

I'm still alive, so I rank them #1 in my book! :-)
