Newsweek has once again recognized Chinese Hospital as one of America’s Best-In-State Hospitals, marking the third consecutive year the hospital has earned this prestigious distinction. This year, Chinese Hospital ranks #3 in San Francisco and #29 among California’s 336 hospitals1, reaffirming its enduring commitment to providing high-quality, linguistically and culturally competent care for the community.
The award is based on exceptional patient satisfaction scores and celebrates hospitals that exemplify excellence in patient-centered care. Developed in partnership with Statista, the rankings evaluate hospitals nationwide on quality metrics, reputation among medical professionals, patient experience data, and patient-reported outcomes. This year’s list includes 800 hospitals across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
“This recognition reflects the heart of our mission—to provide high-quality, linguistically and culturally competent care to every patient who comes through our doors,” said Dr. Jian Zhang, CEO of Chinese Hospital. “For more than a century, Chinese Hospital has been a trusted healthcare partner for our community. This honor is a testament to the dedication of our entire team, who work tirelessly to deliver care with respect, understanding, and excellence every day.”
“Chinese Hospital’s continued recognition by Newsweek reinforces the vital role we play in caring for the community,” said Dr. Roger Eng, Chair of the Board of Trustees. “Our patients know they can rely on us for care that honors their language, culture, and traditions. This achievement belongs to every physician, nurse, and staff member who upholds our hospital’s legacy of service and strengthens the bond of trust we share with the people we serve.”
The healthcare sector has faced substantial challenges in recent years, including physician and staffing shortages, rising operational costs, and reduced Medicare and Medi-Cal reimbursement rates. Despite these pressures, Chinese Hospital has remained steadfast in its focus on patient care, responding with collaboration, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to serving the community.
For 126 years, Chinese Hospital has provided community-based care for San Francisco’s diverse population. This recognition, along with the 2025 Frank E. Staggers Sr., M.D. Outstanding Ethnic Physician Organization Award from Physicians for a Healthy California (PHC) and the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines®–Stroke Gold Plus Award, highlights the hospital’s ongoing pursuit of excellence, equity, and quality improvement.
