July 21, 2015 -- Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston captured the top spot on the annual U.S. News & World Report list of the best U.S. hospitals, knocking last year’s No. 1, Mayo Clinic, into second place.
Still, Mayo's campus in Rochester, MN, captured the top spot on half of 16 specialty areas.
This year's report is the 26th published annually by U.S. News. It's intended to help people pick the best hospital for their needs.
This year's listing has more information on regional hospitals, including not only their performance in treating rare or complicated conditions, but also for common conditions such as joint replacement and heart bypass procedures, says Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis for the publication.
The rankings are calculated taking several things into consideration. Among them:
Fewer hospitals made the honor roll this year than last. To earn a spot on it, hospitals had to rank at or near the top in six or more specialty areas. Fifteen made the cut for 2015. In 2014, 17 did. Besides Mass General, these 14 made the list in this order:
2. Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
3. Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore
4. UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles
5. Cleveland Clinic
6. Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston
7. New York-Presbyterian University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell, N.Y.

12. NYU Langone Medical Center, New York
