According to Newsweek, 1,000 hospitals from around the world were selected for the list "based on recommendations from medical professionals, patient survey results and medical performance indicators." Among the top 10 hospitals in the world, four were in the United States. One of them was right here in Baltimore.

Here are the U.S. hospitals that made the top 10 on the "World's Best Hospitals 2019" list from Newsweek: Mayo Clinic-Rochester; Rochester, Minnesota (No. 1)
