Cedars-Sinai Ranks Among "America's Best Hospitals"
In the 2009 U.S. News & World Report's guide to "America's Best Hospitals," Cedars-Sinai was named one of America's best hospital in 11 specialities. Of the 4,861 hospitals, only 174 were ranked in at least one specialty.
Cedars-Sinai was ranked in 11 categories, including: 
- Cancer
- Endocrinology
- Gastrointestinal Disorders
- Geriatric Care
- Gynecology
- Heart and Heart Surgery
- Kidney Disease
- Neurology and Neurosurgery
- Orthopaedics
- Respiratory Disorders
- Urology
U.S. News and World Report's methodology to determine the rankings includes: reputational votes, expected-versus-actual mortality rate (case-mix adjusted), volume and other factors. Many of these factors use a three-year rolling average, and the newsmagazine also makes changes in its methodology each year.
