U.S.News & World Report has once again ranked Thomas Jefferson University Hospital as the best hospital in Philadelphia for orthopaedics and rehabilitation medicine.

U.S.News & World Report also determined that Jefferson University Hospital was among the best in the nation in those medical specialties and seven more areas – cancer; digestive disorders; geriatrics; gynecology; neurology/neurosurgery; ear, nose and throat; and urology.

Jefferson Hospital has major programs for cancer treatment, heart disease, high-risk childbirth, genetics, radiology, neuroscience, orthopaedics, digestive diseases and many other areas of medicine and surgery. It is one of only a few hospitals in the United States that is both a Level I Trauma Center and a federally designated regional spinal cord injury center. Jefferson’s Kimmel Cancer Center is designated as a clinical cancer center by the National Cancer Institute.

In addition, Jefferson University Hospital and the hospitals of the Jefferson Cancer Network provide free screenings for breast, skin and prostate cancers. There are a number of free support programs available.

This year’s ranking by the magazine is one among many honors Jefferson has received over the years. Jefferson physicians have been named among the best doctors by Philadelphia Magazine and by Best Doctors in America.
