For the fifth year in a row, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute was ranked the No. 1 hospital in the country for ophthalmology in the 19th annual survey of “America’s Best Hospitals,” published in the July 21 issue of U.S. News & World Report. And for the third year in a row, ear, nose and throat has been the top-ranked specialty operating at Jackson Memorial Hospital, coming in at No. 18 on the survey. Two other specialties at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center were also ranked among the nation’s best: neurology and neurosurgery at No. 39 and geriatrics at No. 45.

“These prestigious rankings recognize the superior quality of care that we provide every single day to our patients, which is one of our most important missions at UHealth-University of Miami Health System,” says Pascal J. Goldschmidt, M.D., senior vice president for medical affairs, dean of the Miller School, and CEO of UHealth. “We are extremely proud to be recognized for the world-class medicine we provide.”

Earlier this year, the Miller School’s physical therapy graduate program was ranked No. 7 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report in its “America’s Best Graduate Schools” issue. The program has finished in the top ten every year since the specialty was added to the rankings in 1995.
