BALTIMORE, Sept. 22, 2026 – For a third year in a row, Kennedy Krieger Institute has been recognized as a Best Children’s Hospital by U.S. News & World Report. Este reconocimiento honra tanto a Kennedy Krieger como a Johns Hopkins Children's Center por su programa conjunto en salud conductual pediátrica y adolescente. This year, Kennedy Krieger, also joins Johns Hopkins Children’s Center with recognition for their joint Pediatric Neurology and Neurosurgery services.
"We are elated to receive this new honor for our clinical neurosciences services, which for generations has led efforts to identify and treat a variety of conditions that have great impact on young lives," said Bradley Schlaggar, MD, PhD, President and CEO of Kennedy Krieger. "This recognition along with that for our behavioral health services is a testament to the exceptional work of our clinicians and scientists and the way that we practice medicine, both collaboratively and with excellence."
To create their list of outstanding pediatric hospitals, U.S. News collected and analyzed data from 114 children's hospitals across the nation. Children's hospitals awarded a "Best" designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level and quality of hospital resources directly related to patient care, and expert opinion among pediatric specialists.
U.S. News & World Report began ranking children's hospitals 20 years ago. The goal was to assist parents and caregivers, along with their physicians, in navigating the challenges of choosing care for children with serious illnesses or complex medical needs.
