CHOC Earns Spot as a Top Children’s Hospital

CHOC has been recognized as a 2024-2025 Best Children’s Hospital by U.S. News & World Report, standing out in eight specialties, including cancer, cardiology, neonatology, and behavioral health.

What Makes CHOC Stand Out?

This recognition is no small feat—U.S. News evaluates children’s hospitals across the country based on outcomes, quality of care, and expert opinions. CHOC’s ability to deliver top-notch care for kids with complex health needs is what earned them this well-deserved honor.

“We take the trust families place in us very seriously,” shared Emma Sandhu, CHOC’s vice president and chief quality & patient safety officer. “This recognition reflects our commitment to helping kids live their healthiest lives.”
