BREAKING! U.S. News & World Report Names Eisenhower Health Among Best Hospitals for 2025-2026 in California

Rancho Mirage, CA (July 29, 2025) Eisenhower Health has been named by U.S. News & World Report a 2025-2026 Best Hospital. The hospital tied for number two in the Inland Empire among U.S. News’ latest edition of Best Hospitals. This year, U.S. News announced 504 Best Regional Hospitals across 49 states and 95 metro areas that have demonstrated superior outcomes, ranking Eisenhower Health #19 in California.

“It is an honor to once again be recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the best regional hospitals in the nation and to be ranked among the top 20 hospitals in California,” says Martin Massiello, President and Chief Executive Officer, Eisenhower Health. “This distinction reflects the commitment of our physicians, nurses and staff to deliver exceptional, patient-centered care to the communities we serve.”

U.S. News evaluated more than 4,400 hospitals across 15 adult specialties and 22 procedures and conditions; only 13% of evaluated hospitals earned a Best Hospitals designation.

“For more than three decades, U.S. News has been an invaluable guide for patients,” says Managing Editor and Chief of Health Analysis Ben Harder at U.S. News. “With a ‘Best Hospital’ recognition, Americans, in consultation with their medical providers, can confidently choose a regional hospital known for providing superior care for their specific illness or condition.”

Eisenhower Health was also rated High Performing in 18 types of care, including: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair, Aortic Valve Surgery, Colon Cancer Surgery, Gynecological Cancer Surgery, Heart Bypass Surgery, Hip Fracture, Hip Replacement, Knee Replacement, Leukemia, Lymphoma & Myeloma, Lung Cancer Surgery, Orthopedics, Pacemaker Implantation, Pneumonia, Prostate Cancer Surgery, Spinal Fusion, Stroke, Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, and Urology.

To determine the Best Hospitals, U.S. News analyzed each hospital’s performance based on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from over 800 million records of patient care.
