No stranger to the list, this is actually the 14th year in a row that the hospital made the Honor Roll. The report stated,“Hospitals of the University of Pennsylvania-Penn Presbyterian in Philadelphia, PA is ranked No. 15 on the Best Hospitals Honor Roll. It is nationally ranked in 12 adult specialties and rated high performing in 2 adult specialties and 10 procedures and conditions. It is a general medical and surgical facility.
