Healio recently featured Scottish Rite for Children in an article highlighting the hospital’s recognition in the 2025–2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Children’s Hospitals rankings. Scottish Rite earned the distinction of being ranked the No. 1 hospital in the nation for pediatric orthopedics.
“This recognition represents the heart of who we are — a team devoted to helping kids grow stronger and live healthier lives,” Daniel J. Sucato, MD, MS, chief of staff at Scottish Rite for Children, told Healio. “Whether it is in our hallways, the exam room or the OR, every interaction reflects our commitment to making a lasting difference for children and their families.”
The rankings were based on surveys from thousands of pediatric specialists, which scored hospitals on success in treating complex pediatric conditions such as fractures, scoliosis, spina bifida, sports injuries, surgical complications and infection prevention.
“I want to extend a big thank-you to our amazing team of doctors, nurses, researchers and staff members who put kids first every day,” Sucato said. “Their passion for helping children thrive drives everything we do, and it is what we believe truly sets Scottish Rite apart.”
