Mayo Clinic’s Commitment to Patients, Innovation Reinforced by U.S. News Rankings
Share this:
Mayo Clinic is committed to continuous improvement that puts the needs of the patient first.
This commitment is seen in the industry-leading integration of automation and artificial intelligence, in major investments like Mayo Clinic Platform and Bold. Forward. Unbound., and in thousands of daily interactions between patients and their Mayo Clinic physicians and nurses.
Patients from every state and 135 countries turned to Mayo Clinic for care last year. Their belief in the organization as the leader in healthcare was reinforced in U.S. News & World Report’s "Best Hospitals" rankings for 2025-2026, which Mayo Clinic led for the 36th time since the rankings began.
Both Mayo Clinic in Rochester and Mayo Clinic in Arizona were members of the U.S. News Honor Roll, which evaluates hospitals across 15 specialties and 22 procedures and conditions. Mayo Clinic is the only healthcare organization with two hospitals to achieve this designation.
Philanthropy plays a critical role in these rankings and Mayo Clinic’s transformation of healthcare. Benefactors change the lives of patients, such as those in Cancer Care Beyond Walls, Mayo Clinic’s innovative at-home chemotherapy program.
In 2024, Mayo Clinic received a record $1.117 billion in philanthropic gifts and future commitments and has received several transformative gifts in 2025, including recent contributions to support the Mayo Clinic Berg Innovation Exchange and Bold. Forward. Unbound. in Arizona.
Mayo Clinic again ranks No. 1 in the U.S. News state rankings for Minnesota and Arizona and continues to be the top hospital in the Jacksonville metro area. Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, has also been recognized as a Best Regional Hospital in Northwestern Wisconsin.
