The magazine is highlighting the 30 top-ranked hospitals in cancer, digestive disorders, heart and heart surgery, neonatal care, neurology and neurosurgery, and respiratory disorders.

California has three facilities that make the list: Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford, and UCSF Children's Hospital. They made the top 30 in all seven categories. As far as Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA is concerned, it made the top 30 in five categories: general pediatrics, cancer, digestive disorders, heart and heart surgery and neurology and neurosurgery. Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego was among the top 30 in neonatal care.
