Cleveland Clinic Children’s has received a number of awards and recognition that support our mission to provide compassionate healthcare of the highest quality in a setting of education and research.
Best Children’s Hospitals
Cleveland Clinic Children's has ranked among the nation's best children’s hospitals by U.S. News & World Report (2021-22).
The annual report is collected as a tool through which patients can compare hospitals. Among factors considered, the rankings reflect a hospital's reputation among physician peers, patient safety, and a hospital’s ability to keep patients alive given the severity of illness.
Patients can feel confident comparing hospitals, as the rankings are based on data provided by the American Hospital Association and the rankings are produced by a leading research company.
Magnet Status
Cleveland Clinic Children’s, including our Hospital for Rehabilitation, has been distinguished as a Magnet Status hospital which is the highest national award for excellence in nursing.
The American Nurses Credentialing Center, a subsidiary of the American Nurses Association established Magnet recognition in 1994. Since then, research has shown that patient care outcomes are better at Magnet hospitals where there is an environment that empowers nurses, values their contributions and supports nursing leadership.
Magnet status is awarded for a four-year period, after which hospitals must apply again for the recognition.
