Newsweek’s Best-in-State Hospitals 2025 list ranks UVA Health University Medical Center as Virginia’s No. 1 hospital. The news publication’s rankings were based on several factors, including online surveys of healthcare professionals, hospital quality metrics from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, accreditations, and data from the American Hospital Association’s Annual Survey of Hospitals Database.
Over the past five years, the health system has experienced a 54% rise in the number of unique patients seeking its services. Since 2019, surgical procedures have increased by 65%, hospital admissions have risen by 62%, and Emergency Department visits have quadrupled. This honor follows accolades for UVA Health earlier this year in Newsweek’s “Best Specialized Hospitals” list, which ranked seven specialties at UVA Health University Medical Center and UVA Health Children’s as No. 1 in Virginia and among the top 50 nationally.
