U.S. News and World Report’s 2026-2027 Best Hospitals report named Providence St. Peter Hospital one of the country’s best regional hospitals and among the best hospitals in Washington State. St. Peter Hospital also earned 13 High Performing awards and Centralia Hospital earned two High Performing Awards.
The annual Best Hospitals rankings and ratings, now in their 37th year, are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or for common elective procedures.
“A true testament to our caregivers, providers and our medical group helping bring high-quality compassionate care a reality,” said Providence South Puget Sound Chief Executive Darin Goss. “Providence together will have 4 of the top 6 hospitals in the top 10.”
For the 2026-2027 rankings and ratings, U.S. News evaluated more than 4,500 hospitals across 14 specialties and 23 procedures and conditions. Across all 14 specialties, only 178 U.S. hospitals performed well enough to be nationally ranked in 1 or more specialties.
“For more than 30 years, U.S. News & World Report’s annual Best Hospital rankings has helped guide patients, in consultation with their doctors, to the right hospital when they need care,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “These ratings and rankings are based on each hospital’s outcomes – how well individuals fare after treatment – as well as other factors that matter to patients, such as the quality of their overall experience and interactions with nursing staff.”
U.S. News evaluated each hospital’s performance using a variety of measures such as survival rates, complication rates, patient experience and level of nursing care. The Best Hospitals methodology factors in data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, American Heart Association, professional organizations and medical specialists.
