The new metro area rankings were created this year to be relevant to a wider range of health-care consumers. The metro rankings are aimed at people whose own healthcare may not demand highly specialized services, according to U.S. News & World Report.

The metro rankings are a guide for people seeking overall excellence in every aspect of their care. This includes first-rate prevention and care for common conditions, but also the peace of mind of having top-notch, highly specialized treatment in case they do develop a serious condition or need demanding procedures.

“The new best hospitals metro rankings can tell you which hospitals are worth considering for most medical problems if you live in or near a major metro area,â€� says U.S. News & World Report health rankings editor Avery Comarow.
