The Top Cancer Hospitals in the Mid-East USA

More than 800 hospitals were analyzed for their effectiveness at delivering adult cancer care in the 25-26 U.S. News & World Report (USNWR) survey of American hospitals. In this latest study, hospitals were scored on multiple metrics related to their adult cancer programs, including patient outcomes, the scope and scale of their cancer program, and the amount of professional recognition they have earned from the broader cancer care community. Among the top 50 rated U.S. hospitals for adult cancer care in the 25-26 survey, twelve were based in the Mid-East USA region, an area that encompasses the District of Columbia and five states. Among the twelve were four Mid-East USA hospitals that ranked among the top 10 highest-rated adult cancer care hospitals in the nation.
