In the 23-24 U.S. News & World Report (USNWR) survey of American hospitals, nearly 780 hospitals were rated for their effectiveness at delivering care to adult heart patients.  The hospitals surveyed were scored on various measures related to heart patient outcomes, the breadth of their heart program and services, and the amount of recognition earned by these hospitals from their peers within the cardiology community.  In the 23-24 survey, a score of at least 59.1 out of 100 was required to earn a spot among the top 50 ranked U.S. hospitals for adult heart care. No hospitals in the Rocky Mountain region made the top 50 list and only three hospitals in the region scored more than 45 out of 100 in the 23-24 survey.  The three top-ranked heart hospitals in the Rocky Mountain region in the 23-24 USNWR survey were:
