Inova Alexandria Hospital ranked No. 6 in the DC metro area

Top 10 – Again!

U.S. News & World Report has ranked Inova Alexandria Hospital as the No. 6 best hospital in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area for the second consecutive year. In addition, the hospital was recognized for its high performance nationally in six specialties for 2014–15: diabetes and endocrinology; geriatrics; nephrology; neurology and neurosurgery; orthopedics; and urology. Just 3 percent of the nearly 5,000 hospitals that were analyzed for Best Hospitals 2014–15 earned national ranking in even one specialty.

The report also ranked Inova Alexandria Hospital the eighth best hospital in the state of Virginia.

“We are extremely proud of this continued success and the ranking demonstrates our dedication to making this hospital an advanced and well-respected community hospital,” said Christine  Candio, CEO, Inova Alexandria Hospital.

Now in its 25th year, the U.S. News annual rankings recognize hospitals that excel in treating the most challenging patients, with the goal of helping to guide patients who need a high level of care because they face particularly difficult surgery, a challenging condition or extra risk due to age or multiple health problems. Objective measures such as patient survival and safety data, adequacy of nurse staffing levels and other data largely determine the rankings in most specialties. Learn more at inova.org/usnews.
