DMC hospitals rank in 20 specialties in U.S. News & World Report rankings.


The Detroit Medical Center (DMC) is again taking high honors for nationally and regionally ranked hospitals in the U.S. News Media &World Report’s 2012-13 Best Hospitals rankings. The 23rd annual edition showcases more than 720 of the nation’s roughly 5,000 hospitals.

The U.S. News hospital ratings, widely regarded as a standard of excellence in patient care, listed national and regional rankings in multiple specialties for four DMC hospitals, DMC Detroit Receiving Hospital, DMC Harper University Hospital, DMC Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital and DMC Sinai-Grace Hospital.

“We are proud to be recognized again by U.S. News Media and World Report. Their rankings are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our physicians and clinical staff and exemplify the depth of quality and specialty care delivered every day at Detroit Medical Center,” states Mike Duggan, CEO, Detroit Medical Center.

DMC Harper University Hospital, stood out again this year with two national rankings, #34 in Neurology & Neurosurgery and #43 in Pulmonology.

In addition to Harper’s national rankings, the hospital ranked #3 overall in the Detroit Metro area and #3 in Southeastern Michigan. Harper is also high-performing in nine additional specialties: Cardiology & Heart Surgery; Diabetes & Endocrinology; Ear, Nose & Throat; Gastroenterology; Geriatrics; Gynecology; Nephrology; Ophthalmology and Urology.

DMC Sinai-Grace Hospital ranked #9 overall in the Detroit Metro area and #11 in Southeastern Michigan. Sinai-Grace is listed with nine high-performing specialties: Cardiology & Heart Surgery; Diabetes & Endocrinology; Gastroenterology; Geriatrics; Nephrology; Neurology & Neurosurgery; Orthopedics; Pulmonology and Urology.

DMC Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital ranked #12 overall in the Detroit Metro area and #16 in Southeastern Michigan. Gastroenterology; Geriatrics; Gynecology; Nephrology, Orthopedics, Pulmonology and Urology are Huron Valley-Sinai’s high-performing specialties.

The four DMC hospitals combined to rank in 12 specialties. Last month, DMC Children’s Hospital of Michigan garnered national U.S. News rankings in eight pediatric specialties, bringing DMC’s total to an impressive 20 specialties.

The hospital rankings, said U.S. News Health Rankings Editor Avery Comarow, are like a GPS-type aid to help steer patients to hospitals with strong skills in the procedures and medical conditions that present the biggest challenges. “All of these hospitals are the kinds of medical centers that should be on your list when you need the best care,” said Comarow. “They are where other hospitals send the toughest cases.”

The rankings are published by U.S. News in collaboration with RTI International, a research organization based in Research Triangle Park, N.C. Highlights of the 2012-13 rankings will appear in the U.S. News Best Hospitals 2013 guidebook, to go on sale in August.
