ST. LOUIS - The honors keep rolling in for Mercy Hospital St. Louis, which Newsweek recently ranked on its annual list of America’s Best Hospitals for Specialized Care.
The national magazine named the hospital to its America’s Best list for cancer, cardiac, children’s neurological, children’s oncology, children’s orthopedics, endocrine, gastrointestinal, orthopedics and pulmonology.
“This recognition speaks directly to the heart of who we are at Mercy and is a reflection of the extraordinary commitment our caregivers and teams bring to patients every day,” said Tricia McGusty, president of Mercy St. Louis Communities. “From adult and pediatric cancer care to cardiac and other key areas of clinical excellence, this honor highlights the breadth and consistency of high-quality care we provide. It truly belongs to our teams, whose compassion and dedication make a difference in every life we touch.”
Newsweek Data
Newsweek used four data points to compile its 2026 list of top hospitals for specialized care: hospital quality metrics, a nationwide online survey, patient experience surveys and a Statista implementation survey.
The data is pulled from public sources and recommendations from leading healthcare professionals across many specialties.
Two other Mercy hospitals also made the list: Mercy Hospital Springfield (gastrointestinal) and Mercy Hospital Oklahoma City (endocrine and neurological care).
In April, Newsweek also named Mercy Hospital St. Louis among America’s Best Maternity Hospitals. Learn more at the Mercy Hospital St. Louis page here.
