Massachusetts General Hospital comes in at number 4, trailing Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, the Cleveland Clinic and the top-ranked Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. (WBZ-TV) But, for the first time in 24 years, Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston does not make the top 20. The hospital’s chief quality officer told the Boston Globe that’s largely because of a change in the way the rankings are done. The Dana-Farber – Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center came in fourth for cancer care. Mass. General is fifth in cardiology and heart surgery. Boston Children’s Hospital is ranked as the nation’s best children’s hospital.
