Out of approximately 5,000 hospitals studied, only 152 hospitals in the U.S. earned national distinction in at least one of the 15 adult specialties examined in the most recent (25-26) U.S. News & World Report survey of U.S. hospitals.  Among those 152 distinguished hospitals, several call New England home.  This includes two teaching hospitals in the region, Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital, which earned recognition on the survey's honor roll of the 20 best hospitals in the nation.  For earning national recognition in five or more of the 15 adult specialties examined in the latest USNWR survey, these four hospitals stand out as the top-rated teaching hospitals in New England.
