University Hospital in Ann Arbor is the primary hospital for adult patients at University of Michigan Health, offering patients from across Michigan and beyond comprehensive inpatient and outpatient services including advanced diagnostics, surgical suites, intensive care and specialized treatment units. This 11-story, 1.8 million square-foot, 550-bed hospital is a central hub of the Michigan Medicine medical campus. University of Michigan Health–Ann Arbor ranks among the nation’s best and is the top hospital in Michigan, according to U.S. News & World Report‘s “Best Hospitals” rankings for 2026-2027. The hospital was the only one in the state named to the publication’s honor roll this year, and its Ann Arbor-area hospitals and health centers were nationally ranked in more specialties than any other Michigan hospital. It earned the national top 20 spot in four specialties, with ophthalmology at No. 8, rheumatology at No. 10, pulmonology and lung surgery at No. 16 and urology at No. 16. Additional specialties ranked among the nation’s best include cancer, cardiology, heart and vascular surgery, diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology and GI surgery, geriatrics, and neurology and neurosurgery. The hospital also secured an “A” Leapfrog hospital safety grade for spring 2026. Recent systemwide wins include the fall 2025 opening of the $920 million D. Dan and Betty Kahn Health Care Pavilion in Ann Arbor, expanding capacity and allowing the system to transfer adult inpatients from University Hospital and Frankel Cardiovascular Center.
