Providence Swedish hospitals throughout the Puget Sound region have again been recognized for their overall excellence, as well as excellence in specialty areas in U.S. News & World Report’s annual rankings of the nation’s best hospitals. Providence Swedish hospitals earned a total of 72 Best Hospital and High Performing specialty awards.
U.S. News and World Report’s 2024-2025 Best Hospitals report named Swedish Cherry Hill, Swedish Edmonds, Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, Swedish First Hill, Swedish Issaquah, and Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia as some of the country’s best regional hospitals and are named among the best hospitals in Washington State.
Providence Swedish hospitals also continued to garner High Performing ratings in the specialty rankings in this year’s report. Those ratings recognize excellence in numerous procedures and the treatment and care for a host of conditions. They highlight distinction in the care of life-threatening or rare conditions and the treatment of complex, high-risk cases.
