Mayo Clinic falls to No. 2 on annual list of nation's best hospitals
Rochester's Mayo Clinic dropped to second place in this year's U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals list.
Massachusetts General Hospital reclaimed the top spot in the annual report, which analyzes data from nearly 5,000 hospitals and surveys from more than 140,000 physicians. Johns Hopkins Hospital, UCLA Medical Center and the Cleveland Clinic rounded out the top five.
Mayo finished atop the list for the first time ever in last year's ranking.

In this year's report, Mayo ranked nationally in 15 out of the 16 adult specialties, including a No. 1 ranking in eight adult specialties:
- Diabetes and endocrinology
- Gastroenterology and GI surgery
- Geriatrics
- Gynecology
- Nephrology
- Neurology and neurosurgery
- Pulmonology
- Urology
The eight No. 1 rankings were more than any other provider, which Mayo calls a "testament to the breadth and depth of excellence that yields the best, whole-person care for each patient every day." The clinic also ranked near the top in 10 pediatric specialties.
