"In its 19th annual report, U.S. News recognized 118 top pediatric hospitals across the country in nearly one-dozen specialties that include cancer, cardiology, gastroenterology and neonatology, among others. In California, there were 10 best-ranking children's hospitals, with UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals in San Francisco and Oakland placing third. Tied for first place was Children's Hospital Los Angeles and Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego."
"Nationally, UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals ranked sixth for neonatology care, based on measures that include neonatal growth, prevention of infections, availability of critical technologies such as heart-lung treatment, specialized staff, and experience in treating the sickest infants, according to U.S. News."
"There are no children's hospitals in the North Bay, but that doesn't mean specialized pediatric care isn't more locally available. UCSF Health has partnerships with MarinHealth Medical Center and Sonoma Valley Hospital and that includes specialized pediatric care. The two regional hospital affiliations also simplifies the process for seriously ill young patients who need to be transferred to one of UCSF children's hospitals, according to UCSF Health, MarinHealth and Sonoma Valley Hospital."
118 pediatric hospitals across nearly one-dozen specialties were recognized in the 2025-2026 Best Children's Hospitals rankings.
