Detroit’s health care industry is growing, and three Michigan hospitals – Beaumont Health, the Henry Ford Health System, and the University of Michigan hospital – have been named a “best hospital” by U.S. News and World Report. But what and where are the best hospitals in Metro Detroit?

The rankings included an analysis of 5,000 medical centers and their specialities around the United States, so inclusion on this list is a notable accomplishment. Here are the top 10 hospitals in Metro Detroit (and they include Ann Arbor and Flint in their definition of the Detroit Metro Area).

Hospitals are ordered according to their performance in medical specialties like cancer and in common procedures and conditions like knee replacement and heart failure. The bottom two on the list were a tie for the number nine slot. We also included a map above of where those 10 best hospitals are.

If you don’t count Ann Arbor, the Detroit Medical Center in Detroit would have slid on to the list.

Beaumont had nine nationally-ranked specialties and was named 16th in the U.S. for orthopedics and 17th for diabetes care. Henry Ford’s neurology and neurosurgery department, which specifically focuses on adult patient care, was ranked 46th in the nation.

U of M topped the list and had 11 nationally-ranked specialties and was named 10th in the nation for urology and ophthalmology care.

These are impressive rankings, and it also shows just how important health care has become as an industry in Southeast Michigan.
