Two Boston hospitals improved their place on the US News & World Report short list of best hospitals in the country. Massachusetts General Hospital moved from third to second on the group’s “honor roll,” while Brigham and Women’s Hospital moved up three places from last year’s rank at No. 11.
Partners HealthCare raked in the accolades. In addition to the two honor roll hospitals, four others in the system were recognized for specialty care or as best in the region. McLean Hospital was ranked No. 3 in the country for psychiatry and Spaulding was recognized as No. 5 in rehabilitation.
