NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / March 4, 2026 / Castle Connolly today announced the release of Castle Connolly's 2026 Top Hospitals, recognizing the nation's leading healthcare institutions. The list recognizes 1,663 Top Hospitals for their overall excellence and strong performance in six specialties and nineteen procedures.

Castle Connolly Gold Standard Top Hospitals represent the highest overall performers nationwide, with 38 hospitals earning this distinction - placing them among the top 1% of hospitals.

Built on Castle Connolly's 35 year legacy of identifying Top Doctors, Top Hospitals expands that trusted expertise to the hospital level to recognize institutions delivering the highest-quality procedural care in today's evolving healthcare landscape.

The Top Hospitals methodology is built on a comprehensive, outcomes-driven foundation. By integrating recent, all-payor outcomes data with Castle Connolly's rigorous Top Doctors evaluations which center on clinical expertise, the program provides a clear, data-informed view of where high-quality care is being delivered today.

"Evaluating care across all ages and all payors gives us a broader, more current picture than other hospital rankings - showing not just what hospitals do for seniors, but for everyone who depends on them." says Dr. Russell Robbins, MD, MBA, Senior Medical Consultant, Castle Connolly

Castle Connolly recognizes hospitals across six specialties and nineteen procedures, at a national, state and metro level. Including:

Cancer Surgery

Heart & Vascular Surgery

General Surgery

Obstetrics & Gynecologic Surgery

"Our goal is to make complex healthcare decisions easier for patients and their healthcare providers. By combining current outcomes data with the vetted expertise of Top Doctors, we highlight hospitals that truly excel in specific procedures, supporting patients in their most critical healthcare decisions." Steve Leibforth, Managing Director Castle Connolly
