-

ILLINOIS — Two children's hospitals in Illinois are among the best in the country, according to U.S. News & World Report's annual rankings.

The best children's hospitals for 2019-20 rankings released on Tuesday feature the 50 best hospitals in 10 pediatric specialties and 10 hospitals that landed on U.S. News' honor roll. The hospitals on the honor roll "deliver exceptionally high-quality care across multiple specialties."

In Illinois, no hospitals made the honor roll.

The rankings looked at these pediatric specialties: cancer; cardiology and heart surgery; diabetes and endocrinology; gastroenterology and gastrointestinal surgery; neonatology; nephrology; neurology and neurosurgery; orthopedics; pulmonology; and urology.

In Illinois, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago and Advocate Children's Hospital in Oak Lawn made the list.

Here's how they ranked:

Lurie

  • Total specialties ranked: 10
    • Cancer: 17
    • Cardiology and Heart Surgery: 2
    • Diabetes and Endocrinology: 25
    • Gastroenterology and GI Surgery: 8
    • Neonatology: 23
    • Nephrology: 10
    • Neurology and Neurosurgery: 11
    • Orthopedics: 27
    • Pulmonology: 18
    • Urology: 5

Advocate

  • Total specialties ranked: 1
    • Cardiology and Heart Surgery: 13

"While health care is rapidly changing, the objective of U.S. News' Best Children's Hospitals remains the same: provide families with a comprehensive and trusted starting point as they, in consultation with their doctors and other medical professionals, search for the pediatric care they need," Ben Harder, Chief of Health Analysis and Managing Editor at U.S. News, said in a news release. "Our rankings, now in their 13th year, have always put parents and young patients at the front and center of our mission."

The 10 hospitals that made U.S. News' honor roll are:

  • Boston Children's Hospital (1)
  • Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (2)
  • Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (3)
  • Texas Children's Hospital (3)
  • Children's Hospital Los Angeles (5)
  • Children's National Medical Center (6)
  • Nationwide Children's Hospital (7)
  • UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh (8)
  • Johns Hopkins Children's Center (9)
  • Seattle Children's Hospital (10)

U.S. News says its methodology in tabulating the rankings takes into account measures like patient outcome, including mortality and infection rates, and also available clinical resources and compliance with best practices. (You can read more about the methodology here.)
