According to U.S. News & World Report, UPMC hospitals were recognized in 2003 for excellence in 15 out of 17 specialty areas—more than any other hospital in western Pennsylvania—placing it 15th out of the 6,003 eligible hospitals in the United States.

UPMC Presbyterian placed in 13 specialty areas, UPMC's Magee-Womens Hospital was ranked in gynecology and UPMC's Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh was ranked in pediatrics.

"These rankings are a testament to the professionalism and hard work on the part of our physicians, nurses, researchers and other health care professionals who have once again been recognized as being among the best in the world," stated Jeffrey Romoff, president, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

UPMC has seen a continuous rise in the number of specialty categories it has gained recognition for since 1996 when it first became a unified health system. That year, the system was only ranked in four categories: gastroenterology, otolaryngology, rheumatology and psychiatry. This year, UPMC is recognized in 15 categories.

U.S. News & World Report's America's Best Hospitals is an assessment of the nation's hospitals based on an index made up of three equal parts related to quality of care: reputation, mortality and various factors such as procedure volume and nursing care.

These rankings will appear in the July 28 issue of U.S. News & World Report, which will be on the newsstands Monday, July 21.
