HCA
Houston Healthcare Medical Center has earned its first national recognition in
Cardiology, Heart & Vascular Surgery in U.S. News & World Report's
2026–2027 Best Hospitals rankings. The hospital also ranked No. 9 in Texas and
No. 4 in the Houston metro area for the specialty Cardiology, Heart &
Vascular Surgery. HCA Houston Healthcare Medical Center also earned High
Performing ratings in seven procedures and conditions, the highest distinction
awarded by U.S. News & World Report in those areas of care, including
aortic valve surgery, colon cancer surgery, heart arrhythmia, heart failure,
kidney failure, pneumonia and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn as part of U.S. News’ Best
Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings.
Fewer
than half of the thousands of hospitals evaluated earned a 'High Performing'
designation in the types of care evaluated by U.S. News.
U.S.
News’ annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist
patients and their health care providers in making informed decisions about
where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.
"Our
first national High Performing adult specialty recognition in Cardiology, Heart
& Vascular Surgery, along with our specialty rankings in Texas and the
Houston metro area and expanded High Performing recognitions, reflects the
outstanding work of our physicians, nurses and colleagues across the
organization," said Robert Sabina, CEO of HCA Houston Healthcare Medical
Center. "These recognitions highlight the quality of care our teams
provide every day and inspire us to continue raising the bar for the patients
and communities we serve.
