UVA Health University Medical Center ranks as the No. 1 hospital in Virginia in Newsweekâs âWorldâs Best Hospitals 2026â list, released Wednesday. It also earned the No. 52 spot nationally.
Dr. Mitch Rosner, chief executive officer of UVA Health and executive vice president for health affairs at the University of Virginia, said the rankings highlight the high-quality care UVA Health team members provide.
âFrom the newborns in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to the patients we care for in our geriatrics clinic, our team provides excellent, comprehensive care in a range of specialties for all ages,â he said. âThe Newsweek rankings highlight the incredible care our team provides every day.â
Newsweekâs ratings criteria include surveys of medical experts in more than 30 countries, patient satisfaction survey results, hospital quality data and patient-reported outcomes.
âOur team members bring incredible compassion and skill to the care of all the patients we serve,â Terrie Edwards, interim chief executive officer of UVA Health University Medical Center, said. âI am always so impressed by their commitment to serve others, and these rankings from Newsweek reflect that dedication.â
Newsweekâs ranking comes on the heels of Beckerâs Hospital Review recently naming UVA Health University Medical Center as one of â100 great hospitals in America.â
