Top Hospitals in U.S. News Rankings
Penn Medicine hospitals have once again been ranked among the top in the nation by U.S News & World Report. The combined enterprise of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and Penn Presbyterian Medical Center is ranked #13 in the nation on the magazine’s prestigious annual Honor Roll for the 15th consecutive year. HUP/PPMC is also ranked as the top hospital in Pennsylvania and #1 in the Philadelphia metro area in the 2021-2022 survey. Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health also garnered impressive honors this year, ranking #4 in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania Hospital was ranked #11 in Pennsylvania and #4 in the Philadelphia region, and Chester County Hospital #14 in Pennsylvania and #8 in the Philadelphia region.
HUP/PPMC is among only 20 institutions named to the publication’s Honor Roll — and the only one in Pennsylvania or the Philadelphia region — out of more than 4,500 hospitals analyzed nationwide. Hospitals must perform near the top of the rankings in multiple specialties and conditions/treatments in order to earn a place on the Honor Roll.

Penn Medicine Radnor Honored by AIA as a ‘Healing Space’
Penn Medicine Radnor was named to The American Institute of Architects’ (AIA) 2021 Healthcare Design Awards list. Each year, this list recognizes the best of health care building design, health care planning and health care design-oriented research. Opened in 2020, the new Radnor campus offers patients primary care, cancer care, laboratory services and other specialized treatments, right in their own neighborhood.
One of the main focuses when designing the facility — aside from patient experience- was the idea of biophilia, which involves embracing nature and erasing the division between indoors and out. “The rolling park-like landscape deserves a design award of its own and draws on the natural character of the region,” an AIA judge commented.
