U.S. News Ranks Cincinnati Children's Among Top Three U.S. Children's Hospitals
Date:5/30/2008

CINCINNATI, May 30 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. News & World Report has ranked Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center the third best children's hospital in the United States in general pediatrics in the 2008 edition of its annual "America's Best Children's Hospitals" rankings. The ranking is the highest Cincinnati Children's has ever received from U.S. News.

"This is a huge accomplishment for which we owe a great debt of thanks to the thousands of employees who helped get us there," says James M. Anderson, president and CEO of Cincinnati Children's.

Cincinnati Children's ranked in the top 20 in all of these specialties: #3 in digestive diseases, #3 in respiratory diseases, #4 in cancer, and #8 in heart and heart surgery and #17 in neurology and neurosurgery.

"The best places for them are pediatric facilities with a deep pool of expertise in their particular illness. Breaking out key specialties is crucial to help parents and other caregivers find these facilities."
