St. Jude named top U.S. children's cancer hospital
The Commercial Appeal
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has been named the nation's top children's cancer hospital in the nation by U.S. News and World Report. The magazine gave the Memphis pediatric cancer research hospital the best overall score for quality of care in its 2010-2011 Best Children's Hospital rankings. "This recognition is an outstanding external acknowledgment for our institution, but more importantly for the dedicated St. Jude faculty and staff who devote their time, talent and lives to the young patients we see every day," said Dr. William E. Evans, St. Jude director and CEO. The rankings were based on reputation, medical outcomes (like cancer survival) and care-related indicators of quality such as the number of patients, nursing staff and other factors.
