Hasbro Children’s, part of the Brown University Health health system, has been listed among Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Children’s Hospitals 2025. The award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., a leading market and consumer data portal.
The America’s Best Children’s Hospitals 2025 ranking, which can be viewed here, awards the best hospitals in eight pediatric subspecialties: Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology & Gastrointestinal Surgery, Neonatology, Neurology & Neurosurgery, Oncology, Orthopedics and Pulmonology. The underlying data analysis is based on four data sources:
1. Nationwide Online Survey: Participants with knowledge about pediatric care (e.g., general and specialized pediatricians and nurses) were asked to recommend leading children’s hospitals in the U.S. The survey was also promoted on newsweek.com.
2. Hospital Quality Metrics: Hospital quality metrics with a focus on indicators relevant to the respective subspecialties and accreditations/certifications were considered.
3. Patient Satisfaction: Evaluations from Google were researched for each children’s hospital as a proxy for patient satisfaction with the hospital.
4. Statista Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMS) Implementation Survey: Voluntary PROMS implementation survey to determine the status quo of PROMs implementation, audits and reporting of data.
“Hasbro Children’s is honored to be recognized on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Children’s Hospitals for the outstanding work and high-quality care provided to our patients every day. Our unwavering dedication to the best interests of our patients and community while ensuring the highest standards of patient safety truly makes a difference in the lives of our patients and families,” said Sarah Frost, chief of hospital operations and president of Rhode Island Hospital and its Hasbro Children’s Hospital.
