It was the first time in two years that U.S. News and World Report had done the children’s hospital rankings and also the first time it didn’t assign a specific ranking No. 1-10 to the top 10. UPMC Children’s Hospital had been in the top 10 the last time the list was published in 2023.

U.S. News & World Report just released its ranking of the best children's hospitals in the country, and Cincinnati Children's, along with Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, made the top 10. Both hospitals were tied for No.

Kentucky's best children's hospital is in Louisville, according to U.S. News & World Report, which ranked 88 pediatric hospitals from across the country this year. Norton Children's Hospital made U.S. News' rankings in seven pediatric specialties, including cancer (46th), orthopedics (30th), urology (25th) and diabetes and endocrinology (14th).
