For the 15th year in a row, Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital has been named one of the Best Children’s Hospitals in the nation by U.S. News & World Report for 2025–2026 — a recognition that underscores the hospital’s ongoing commitment to delivering world-class care to children and families across the region.
The annual rankings from U.S. News & World Report help families make informed decisions when seeking care for children with serious or complex medical needs.
“Le Bonheur has once again earned recognition as one of the nation’s Best Children’s Hospitals,” said Trey Eubanks, MD, FACS, President of Le Bonheur. “For 15 years, this distinction has reflected the trust families place in us. We’re honored to serve our patients and remain dedicated to providing exceptional, family-centered care for every child who walks through our doors.”
As the primary pediatric teaching affiliate for the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Le Bonheur plays a major role in training the next generation of pediatric experts—educating more than 350 new pediatricians and pediatric specialists each year.
To determine this year’s rankings, U.S. News and research partner RTI International analyzed data from 108 children’s hospitals nationwide and surveyed thousands of pediatric specialists. The top-ranked hospitals stood out for excellence in clinical outcomes, patient care resources, and reputation among medical professionals.
Through its regional clinics in Jackson, Tenn., Tupelo, Miss., and Jonesboro, Ark., Le Bonheur continues to ensure that high-quality, compassionate care is accessible to families throughout the Mid-South — keeping kids closer to home while receiving the best possible treatment.
