In the latest American hospital survey from U.S. News & World Report, only 89 children's hospitals received national recognition in at least one of the ten pediatric specialties examined in the survey. Seventeen pediatric hospitals in the Mid-Eastern U.S., a region that encompasses five states and the District of Columbia, earned a top 50 national ranking in at least one specialty. Moreover, four Mid-Eastern U.S. pediatric hospitals ranked among the ten best children's hospitals in the nation in the new USNWR survey. No other region of the country had as many top 10 pediatric hospitals as did the Mid-East. The seventeen Mid-Eastern U.S. children's hospitals that earned recognition in the USNWR survey were:
