Nebraska Medicine Orthopaedics continues to be #1 in Nebraska and top 10% Nationwide
For the 14th consecutive year, Nebraska Medical Center has been named the No. 1 hospital in Nebraska by U.S. News & World Report—a reflection of the unwavering dedication of its providers, staff, and faculty. In this year’s national rankings, Nebraska Medicine also earned the top spot for orthopaedic care in the state and was designated “High Performing” in Orthopaedics. The distinction of “High Performing” places Nebraska Medicine Orthopaedics, in the top 10% of orthopaedic programs nationwide.
“This recognition reflects the strength of our academic mission and the exceptional outcomes our teams deliver every day,” said Dr. Chris Cornett, orthopaedic spine surgeon, professor of orthopaedic surgery, and vice chair of clinical service. “Our nationally ranked program is built on a foundation of collaboration—among surgeons, APPs, nurses, and care teams—who are united in advancing evidence-based care, educating future leaders, and ensuring that every patient receives the highest level of orthopaedic treatment available.”
Nebraska Medicine Orthopaedics has earned this elite designation consistently for over a decade. The “High Performing” status is awarded based on rigorous, objective criteria including patient survival rates, outcomes for complex procedures, patient experience, nurse staffing levels, and the use of advanced clinical technologies—further solidifying the program’s national reputation for excellence.
