Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital has been named a Best Children’s Hospital by U.S. News & World Report on its 2016-2017 list. It is the sixth consecutive year Le Bonheur has been included in the list.
Meri Armour, the hospital’s president and CEO, said Le Bonheur uses the survey as “a tool to continually advance the level of our pediatric care. We are honored that Le Bonheur has been recognized seven of the nine categories in which we could apply.”
U.S. News introduced the Best Children’s Hospitals list in 2007 to help families of children with rare or life-threatening illnesses find the best medical care available. These lists open the door to an array of detailed information about each hospital’s performance.
The U.S. News Best Children’s Hospitals rankings rely on clinical data and on an annual survey of pediatric specialists.
