Utah hospital recognized as one of ‘Best Hospitals in America’

U.S. News & World Report has ranked LDS Hospital as one of the "Best Hospitals in America," and recognized three other Intermountain Healthcare hospitals for their high-performing medical specialties.

LDS Hospital ranked 29th nationally in gynecology and was named the overall top hospital in Utah. The facility was recognized for having five "high-performing" specialties in addition to its national raking in gynecology: cancer, gastroenterology, orthopedics, pulmonology and urology.

The magazine’s rankings were based on hospital reputation as measured by a survey of medical specialists, outcomes, volumes, service excellence ratings, mortality rates and other measures related to patient care, including data collected by the federal government. Salt Lake Tribune
