UPMC Presby-Shadyside's streak of being listed in US New's honor roll of hospitals (top 15-20 of 5,000+ hospitals in the US) hits 17 years.
UPMC is up one spot over last year to #12, and back to where they were two years ago.
If Magee-Womens Hospital was included with Presby-Shadyside's rank (adding 14 points to UPMC's score), UPMC would actually be ranked #10 and a just a hair behind Penn's HUP. This also doesn't account for Children's Hospital's #7 ranking since pediatric hospitals are ranked separately.
