Views on the healthcare system in Arizona can be mixed, but when it comes to specific hospitals, there may not be much disagreement with how they are ranked.
U.S. News released its 2026-2027 Best Hospitals Honor Roll, and one Phoenix hospital made the list. The Honor Roll recognizes 20 hospitals that have "excellent results in treating patients in the full range of adult care" – both in the Best Hospitals Specialty rankings and Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions. This list is not ranked in a specific order.
The organization has also ranked the best hospitals near Phoenix. This list is based on their performance in complex care in medical specialties such as cancer and in common procedures and conditions, including knee replacement and heart
failure. They also include the metro areas of Glendale, Mesa and Scottsdale.
Here's the Phoenix hospital that made the U.S. News 2026-2027 Best Hospitals Honor Roll and other top hospitals in metro Phoenix.
