Grady recognized as High Performing hospital by U.S. News & World Report

Grady Health System has been named a High Performing hospital in U.S. New & World Report’s 2026-2027 Best Hospitals rankings, the highest distinction a hospital can earn from the magazine. Grady earned top marks for care in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart arrhythmia, heart failure, kidney failure, leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and stroke.

Fewer than half of the thousands of hospitals evaluated earned a High Performing designation.

“Being named a High Performing hospital by U.S. News & World Report reflects the extraordinary dedication of our physicians, nurses, and staff who care for patients with some of the most complex medical conditions every day,” said Anthony Saul, president and COO of Grady. “This recognition underscores the strength and excellence of our clinical programs and our unwavering commitment to delivering world-class care to every patient. We are proud of this achievement and remain focused on improving the health of the communities we serve.”

U.S. News evaluated nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide across 14 adult specialties and 23 procedures and conditions. Less than half earned recognition in any of these 37 areas of care, based on factors such as survival rates, patient experience, and preventable complications.
