South Texas Health System Edinburg has once again earned a place among Texas’ top hospitals, becoming the only Rio Grande Valley hospital recognized as a Best Regional Hospital in Texas by U.S. News & World Report for the fifth consecutive year.
The hospital ranked No. 30 in Texas in the publication’s 2026-2027 Best Regional Hospitals rankings, placing it among the top-performing facilities in the state for delivering complex medical care and positive patient outcomes. According to South Texas Health System, the hospital is one of just 16% of nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide evaluated by U.S. News & World Report to receive a numerical ranking.
The recognition comes as healthcare providers across the Rio Grande Valley continue expanding specialty care to meet the needs of the region’s growing population.
“Earning this distinction for the fifth consecutive year reflects the unwavering commitment of our physicians, nurses and staff to delivering exceptional care for the people of the Valley,” said Lance Ames, CEO of STHS Edinburg and STHS Children’s. “As our community continues to grow and evolve, we remain focused on expanding access to advanced healthcare services while maintaining the highest standards of quality, safety and patient experience.”
5,000+ business leaders across the Valley start their day with us.
