Roswell Park Moves up on U.S. News Ranking

July 19, 2011

 Roswell Park Cancer Institute is moving up -- at least in one ranking of the nation's top cancer hospitals.

The Buffalo facility has climbed six spots, to number 27, in U.S. News & World Report's list of best cancer hospitals in 2011-12, according to Roswell Park officials.

"Once again, our inclusion on the U.S. News list reflects the trajectory of growth and the outstanding quality of research, education and care at RPCI," said Donald L. Trump, Roswell Park's president and CEO.

In compiling its national list of 140 Best Hospitals in 16 specialties, U.S. News evaluated 4,825 U.S. medical centers. The rankings are driven by data such as survival score, patient safety, nurse staffing and reputation. In addition to its national ranking, Roswell Park also captured the top spot as the best hospital in the Buffalo metro region, being recognized as "high-performing" in the specialties of gynecology, urology and ear, nose and throat diseases.

The rankings will be featured in the U.S. News Best Hospitals guidebook, which will go on sale August 30.
