Hartford Hospital has been named by U.S. News & World Report as a 2024-2025 Best Hospital, ranking No. 1 in the Metro Hartford Area and “high performing” in orthopedics and urology.

Hartford Hospital was also ranked “high performing” in the following 13 conditions and procedures:

  • Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
  • Aortic valve surgery
  • Colon cancer surgery
  • Heart bypass surgery
  • Heart failure
  • Hip replacement
  • Kidney failure
  • Knee replacement
  • Leukemia, lymphoma & myeloma
  • Lung cancer surgery
  • Pneumonia
  • Prostate cancer surgery
  • Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)

“Hartford Hospital has had the honor of being ranked No. 1 in the Hartford Metro Area for 14 consecutive years because of the expertise, skill, dedication, and compassion our colleagues bring to work with them every day,” said Bimal Patel, president of Hartford Hospital and senior vice president of Hartford HealthCare. “We have earned our community’s trust by providing the best care, in the right place, at the right time. This recognition underscores the value of our focus on excellence and access – two tenets that ensure we deliver world-class care right here.”

U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures
and conditions; only 11% of evaluated hospitals earned a Best Hospitals ranking. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.

To calculate the Best Hospitals rankings, U.S. News evaluated each hospital’s performance on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This year, among other methodology refinements, U.S. News incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on care provided to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of patients included in its annual data analysis. The Procedures & Conditions ratings are based entirely on objective quality measures.
