Top Ranked Teaching Hospitals in the Far West

In the 23-24 U.S. News & World Report (USNWR) survey of American hospitals, only 164 hospitals surveyed earned national recognition in at least one of the 15 adult specialties examined in the USNWR study. While the six-state Far West region of the U.S. is home to multiple teaching hospitals, only six teaching hospitals in the region earned national distinction in at least ten of the fifteen adult specialties assessed in the survey.  Moreover, five of these Far West region teaching hospitals were named to the survey's honor roll for being one of the 22 best hospitals in the United States.  For receiving national recognition in ten or more adult specialties in the latest USNWR survey, these six hospitals stand out as the top-ranked teaching hospitals in the Far West:
