Houston Methodist Hospital named best hospital in Texas by U.S. News
Why it matters: Houston's world-class medical care means good health care access for locals — plus it draws people to the city as a place to live, work and seek treatment.
State of play: U.S. News' ranking compared more than 4,400 hospitals by patient outcomes across 20 benchmark procedures like knee replacement and heart bypass surgery, as well as other data sources like Medicare and patient surveys.
Zoom in: For the 14th year, Houston Methodist was named the top hospital in Texas. It also landed a spot on the national Best Hospitals Honor Roll again.
Six Houston-area hospitals made the state's top 10 list, including Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center, Memorial Hermann Hospital and its Greater Heights location, and Houston Methodist's Sugar Land and Willowbrook hospitals.
The rankings also include specialty categories where the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center once again ranked No. 1 in the nation for cancer treatment.
What they're saying:"Houston's health care system is impressively represented in the 2025-2026 U.S. News Best Hospitals rankings, with 12 Best Regional Hospitals recognized in the Houston metro," Chelsey Wen, senior health data analyst at U.S. News, tells Axios.
"This broad recognition … assures residents of widespread access to high-quality patient care," Wen says.

Saquon Barkley among NFL stars who will join President Trump's council on Sports Nutrition
Eagles running back Saquon Barkley will join Harrison Butker, Nick Bosa, Tony Romo, and Lawrence Taylor on President Trumps Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.' Saquon Barkley is a son, a fantastic father, the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year winner, and now a member of President Donald Trump's administration. In a move that will revive a standard from the Reagan, Clinton, and Bush era, Barkley will join Harrison Butker, Nick Bosa, Tony Romo, and Lawrence Taylor on President Trump's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.' According to the Washington Post, President Trump on Thursday announced that the presidential fitness test, a hallmark of American physical education programs, will be making a comeback in public schools. The assessment was retired and replaced by a fitness program under the Obama administration. The presidential fitness test was initiated in the 1950s by a council established by President Dwight D. Eisenhower that was directed to improve the physical fitness of American youths, in response to fears they were falling behind their European counterparts when it came to athleticism. The project is an alternative way to get anti-obesity drugs to Medicare and Medicaid patients, after the administration said in April that neither program would cover GLP-1s for weight loss. In doing so, it scrapped a 2024 Biden administration proposal for the programs to start covering GLP-1s for patients with obesity. Several high-profile athletes — all of whom have existing ties to Trump — attended the ceremony and will serve on the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition. The attendees included professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau, who will chair the council; controversial National Football League kicker Harrison Butker; World Wrestling Entertainment mainstay Paul 'Triple H' Levesque; golfer Annika Sorenstam; and football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor. The Eagles running back wasn't in attendance, but will be joined by golfers Jack Nicklaus, Nelly Korda, and Gary Player (who was also awarded the Medal of Freedom alongside Sorenstam); Tony Romo, Nick Bosa, and Barkley; legendary hockey player Wayne Gretzky; and baseball player Mariano Rivera. The list also includes NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, whom Trump repeatedly scrutinized during his first presidential term. Barkley was criticized during the off-season for spending time with President Trump on a golf outing prior to the Eagles' ring celebration.
