Nicklaus Children’s Hospital is included within Newsweek’s list of World’s Best Specialized Hospitals 2024, marking the third consecutive year the hospital has been honored in the ranking. This prestigious award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., a world-leading statistics portal and industry-ranking provider. Nicklaus Children’s Hospital is the top-ranked pediatric hospital in South Florida in the Newsweek listing.
The World’s Best Specialized Hospitals 2024 ranking identifies the best hospitals that specialize in cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, endocrinology, gastroenterology, neurology, neurosurgery, obstetrics/gynecology, oncology, orthopedics, pediatrics, pulmonology and urology.
Newsweek and Statista invited experts in the medical field to participate in online surveys prompting them to recommend and assess hospitals within their respective specializations. Also considered in the survey process were accreditations/certifications that reflect a range of structural or quality requirements as well as outcomes measures.
“We are truly honored to be included in the 2024 Newsweek ranking of best specialized hospitals for pediatrics,” said Matthew A. Love, President and CEO of Nicklaus Children’s Health System. “This recognition is a tribute to our clinical and support teams and their enduring commitment to providing the best possible care to the children and families we are privileged to serve. Indeed, it is one more reason why Nicklaus Children’s is the hospital where children matter most.”
