Phoenix Children’s is Arizona’s premier hospital for family-centered, pediatric care for patients with complex medical needs. We’re proud of the broad and deep experience our expert team of physicians and staff brings across more than 75 pediatric subspecialties — experience you won’t find anyplace else in Arizona. But it isn't enough for a hospital to say it’s the best. That's why third-party endorsements, working from data submitted by multiple hospitals across the country, are one of the best ways for patients and families to ensure a hospital’s care is truly world-class. Here are a few of our top honors.

U.S. News & World Report

US New Best Children's Hospital Logo

The rigorous “Best Children’s Hospitals” survey conducted by U.S. News & World Report asks hundreds of questions about a hospital’s survival rates, nurse staffing, subspecialists’ availability and many other pieces of critical information that's difficult or impossible for patients’ families and care-givers to find on their own. U.S. News takes all of this data and combines it with a reputation score that’s based on a survey of pediatric specialists from across the country.

For the 13th consecutive year, U.S. News & World Report has ranked Phoenix Children’s among the nation’s “Best Children’s Hospitals.” The health system was also named the No. 1 children’s hospital in Arizona and third in the Southwest region. Phoenix Children’s is the only children’s hospital in Arizona ever to be recognized by U.S. News & World Report.
