Fortune and healthcare performance improvement company Premier released their 100 Top Hospitals 2025 list on April 2, recognizing top performers across five categories, including small community and large teaching hospitals.
Premier researchers analyzed nearly 2,600 U.S. hospitals, using public Medicare data, evaluating metrics such as inpatient mortality, length of stay, operating profit margin and healthcare-associated infections.
If the 100 recognized hospitals served all Medicare patients, more than 331,000 additional lives could be saved in a hospital setting, according to Premier’s analysis.
Hospitals could not self-nominate or be nominated by others, and winners do not pay for marketing, according to the report.
Below are the five categories featuring 20 hospitals each: major teaching hospitals, teaching hospitals, large community hospitals, medium community hospitals and small hospitals.
