The Lown Institute Hospitals Index for Social Responsibility is the only national ranking that combines measures of health equity, value of care and patient outcomes, offering a comprehensive view of how hospitals serve their communities. The 2026-27 rankings evaluated more than 3,500 hospitals nationwide using more than 50 measures, including community benefit, racial inclusivity and avoidance of unnecessary care.
“The best hospitals aren’t just clinically excellent, they’re deeply committed to the communities they serve, and work hard to ensure all patients get the care they need,” said Vikas Saini, MD, president of the Lown Institute. “High performance on the Lown Index shows that hospitals are doing more of what matters to patients and communities.”
