The Honor Roll
When U.S. News identifies the top hospitals in 17 specialties every year, a handful (only 14 this year) are singled out as Honor Roll centers?hospitals that excelled not in one or two specialties but in six or more. Rank in the Honor Roll is based on total points: Hospitals got 2 points for ranking at or near the top in a specialty and 1 point for the next rung down (details below)
