“These rankings reinforce our commitment to exemplary, specialty care for children with rare and life-threatening diseases,” Luanne Thomas Ewald, FACHE, M.H.A., chief operating officer at Mott and Von Voigtlander Women’s Hospital said in a news release.

“We are grateful for our teams of doctors, nurses and staff who are devoted to high quality care, innovative research and improving children’s health in Michigan and beyond."

Clinical outcomes, such as infection rates and mortality, are considered in the rankings methodology along with compliance with “best practices” and coordination and efficiency of care delivery.

“The U.S. News rankings are one measure of our clinical teams’ dedication to world-class care, patient safety and family centeredness,” Mott chief clinical officer Chris Dickinson, M.D. said in a news release.

“Our providers are relentlessly focused on providing exceptional, compassionate and personalized care for families who come to us for help with their children’s complex medical needs.”
