SEATTLE — Aug. 2, 2016 — Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) / University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC) is ranked among the best in the nation for adult cancer care by U.S. News & World Report for 2016-2017. SCCA/UWMC is receiving a Top 10 ranking for the 11th year in a row.
“Without a doubt, it is because of the hard work and the commitment to patient care from our providers and staff that we are ranked in the Top 10 in the nation and No. 1 in Washington state,” said Norm Hubbard, SCCA executive vice president.
U.S. News analyzed over 5,000 hospitals for adult and pediatric care to find the best in the nation, based on critical criteria, patient outcomes and survey results from more than 140,000 physicians. “A hospital that emerged from our analysis as one of the best has much to be proud of,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis at U.S. News.
Earlier this year, more than 65 doctors were also recognized in Seattle Magazine and Seattle Met magazine’s Top Doctors lists. The Healthcare Equality Index of the Human Rights Campaign named SCCA as a “2016 Leader in LGBT Healthcare Equality” and Becker’s Healthcare named SCCA one of the top “150 great places to work in healthcare.”
