Memorial Hermann Once Again Earns Top Recognition by U.S. News & World Report for 2024-2025

TIRR Memorial Hermann once again ranks No. 2 among the country's top rehabilitation hospitals in the U.S. News & World Report's Best Hospital rankings for 2024-2025, which were released today. TIRR Memorial Hermann has been included in the prestigious rankings since the report's inception in 1989.

"We are incredibly honored that TIRR Memorial Hermann is again recognized by physicians and U.S. News and World Report as the No. 2 rehabilitation hospital nationally, and as the best rehabilitation hospital in Texas," said Rhonda Abbott, senior vice president and CEO of TIRR Memorial Hermann. "This would not be possible without the dedicated physicians and team members who are passionate about what we do every day. We plan to continue championing inclusion and redefining rehabilitation, affecting change in the domains of clinical care, education, research and advocacy as we innovate improvements in quality care for all of our patients in their rehabilitation journey."

In addition to TIRR Memorial Hermann, several other Memorial Hermann campuses and service lines ranked in the 2024-2025 report:

• Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center (TMC) ranked as the No. 3 hospital in the Houston metro area and No. 5 hospital in Texas. They also ranked as No. 41 nationally in orthopedics (This ranking is comprised jointly of Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, Memorial Hermann | Rockets Orthopedic Hospital, Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospital and Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital).
• Memorial Hermann Greater Heights Hospital ranked as the No. 4 hospital in the Houston metro area and No. 6 hospital in Texas.
• Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center ranked as the No. 7 hospital in the Houston metro area and No. 18 hospital in Texas.

U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions; only 11% of evaluated hospitals earned a Best Hospitals ranking. Hospitals awarded a "Best" designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.

To calculate the Best Hospitals rankings, U.S. News evaluated each hospital's performance on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This year, among other methodology refinements, U.S. News incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on care provided to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of patients included in its annual data analysis. The Procedures & Conditions ratings are based entirely on objective quality measures.
