For the 15th consecutive year, Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital has been recognized as a 2025-2026 “Best Children’s Hospital” by U.S. News & World Report.
Le Bonheur is the primary pediatric teaching affiliate for the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Together, the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and Le Bonheur train more than 350 new pediatricians and pediatric specialists each year.
“Le Bonheur has once again earned recognition as one of the nation’s ‘Best Children’s Hospitals’ by U.S. News & World Report,” said Trey Eubanks, MD, FACS, president of Le Bonheur and a professor at UT Health Science Center. “For 15 years, this distinction has been a reflection of the trust families place in us, and we are deeply honored by it. We remain committed to providing exceptional patient- and family-centered care for every child whom we are privileged to serve.”
U.S. News, together with RTI International, a North Carolina-based research and consulting firm, collected and analyzed data from 108 children’s hospitals and surveyed thousands of pediatric specialists. Children’s hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level and quality of hospital resources directly related to patient care and expert opinion among pediatric specialists.
Le Bonheur is proud of ensuring high quality, excellent care to children in our region, close to home, through our regional clinics in Jackson, Tennessee, Tupelo, Mississippi, and Jonesboro, Arkansas.
