Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, is the No. 1 heart hospital in the United States, according to a data-based ranking published by Newsweek. Cleveland Clinic and its Miller Family Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute came in at No. 2, followed by Massachusetts General Hospital/the Corrigan Minehan Heart Center at No. 3, NYU Langone Hospitals – Tisch Hospital at No. 4 and Stanford Health Care/Stanford Hospital at No. 5.

The ranking is part of a new America’s Best Hospitals for Specialize Care 2025 report.

Newsweek and Statista partnered on the list, naming their Top 200 Hospitals for Cardiac Care. While 45% of each facility’s overall score was determined by a variety of hospital quality metrics, another 35% was determined by survey responses from U.S. healthcare professionals collected in early 2025. In addition, 15% of the overall scores was determined by patient satisfaction surveys, and the final 5% was based on Statista’s PROMs Implementation Survey.

“This ranking highlights health care facilities that exceed expectations when it comes to providing quality cardiac patient care,” according to the report. “For the data used in this ranking, tens of thousands of medical professionals and hospital managers participated in a nationwide online survey. Their responses were factored in alongside publicly available hospital quality metrics, patient satisfaction scores and patient-reported outcome measures implementation scores.”
