The 2025 edition of Becker’s Hospital Review’s “100 Great Hospitals in America” includes some of the most recognizable names in health care. Once again, Nebraska Medicine – Nebraska Medical Center is on the prestigious list, making it the only hospital in Nebraska to be recognized.

Becker’s recognizes hospitals on the list for delivering excellent clinical care, prioritizing patient safety and driving innovation through research, education and continuous improvement. Their top-tier outcomes and patient-centered approaches have earned them recognition from leading ranking and awards organizations for outstanding performance across multiple specialties.

It reinforces our responsibility to continue advancing care not only for our community, but for patients everywhere.”
