Cedars-Sinai Named to U.S. News Honor Roll for 11th Straight Year

# What happened Cedars-Sinai Medical Center has been named to the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals Honor Roll for 2026–27. This is the 11th consecutive year the medical center has earned that placement.

# Why the ranking matters U.S. News ranks hospitals using measures that include patient outcomes, patient experience, and the ability to care for complex medical conditions. Honor Roll status is based on high performance across multiple specialties, procedures, and conditions rather than a single metric.

# Where Cedars-Sinai scored highly Ten Cedars-Sinai specialties were listed among the top clinical programs in the U.S. Three specialties are ranked among the top five nationally:

• Gastroenterology & GI Surgery
• Cardiology, Heart & Vascular Surgery
• Orthopedics

Other specialties that made top lists include Cancer, Diabetes & Endocrinology, Geriatrics, Neurology & Neurosurgery, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Pulmonology & Lung Surgery, and Urology.

# Services for international patients

# International expansion and partnerships The organization has extended its presence outside the U.S. through several initiatives:

• Cedars-Sinai Clinic London, a wholly owned outpatient clinic located in London's Harley Street Health District, offering primary care, executive health, concierge medicine, and access to Los Angeles specialists.
• An affiliation with The View Hospital in Doha, Qatar, to provide physician collaboration, second opinions, and coordinated access to advanced treatments in Los Angeles when needed.
• Additional offices and partnerships in Mexico, Ecuador, Singapore, and China for clinical collaboration, physician partnerships, and medical education programs.

# Leadership response Peter L. Slavin, MD, President and CEO of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Cedars-Sinai Health System, credited the results to the professionals working across the organization and tied the recognition to the institution's mission of healing, discovery, education, and community service.

Heitham Hassoun, MD, Chief Executive of Cedars-Sinai International, described the ranking as evidence of consistent commitment to clinical care and research and said the organization will continue to bring Cedars-Sinai care closer to patients globally.

# What this means for patients For patients seeking specialized or complex care, the Honor Roll placement signals sustained, multi-specialty performance by Cedars-Sinai. International patients should expect coordinated logistics and concierge-style supports aimed at smoothing travel, appointments, language, and follow-up care. The London clinic and regional partnerships provide local access points for consultation and continuity.

# Bottom line Cedars-Sinai's repeated Honor Roll placement reflects multi-year performance across high-ranking specialties and a growing infrastructure aimed at serving both local and international patients through clinics, affiliations, and support services.
