The publication then ranks the top 50 hospitals in the nation in those 17 specialties. Rankings are based on reputation and various medical data.

In the publication, which hit newsstands July 15, UMC is ranked as follows for specific areas of specialty care:

  • 18th Neurology and Neurosurgery
  • 25th Cancer
  • 38th Heart and Heart Surgery
  • 42nd Gynecology

“University Medical Center receives this recognition because of the people who strive to make a difference, the physicians, the scientists, the nurses, the staff; everyone at UMC believes in doing their utmost to better the lives of people living in the Southwest,” says Greg Pivirotto, UMC President and CEO.
