Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital Ranked Among Nation’s Best by U.S. News & World Report

Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital appears on U.S. News & World Report’s 2025–2026 Best Children’s Hospitals list, earning a coveted spot in the 2025–2026 Best Children’s Hospitals for Pediatric Cancer.

In addition to this national recognition, Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital was named the #7 Best Children’s Hospital in New York and the #16 Best in the Mid-Atlantic Region. These honors reflect the hospital’s growing reputation for excellence in complex, compassionate pediatric care.

The U.S. News & World Report recognition follows Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital’s prestigious designation by the American College of Surgeons for Oncology as a National Pediatric Center of Excellence, an honor shared by only three children’s hospitals nationwide. The hospital was recently awarded an Empire Clinical Research Investigator (ECRIP) grant of $459,333 to advance safer, more precise treatments for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, particularly in children and adolescents.

“For our patients and families, being named one of the Top 50 children’s hospitals in the nation for pediatric cancer care is a powerful affirmation that world-class care is available right here in the Hudson Valley,” said David Lubarsky, MD, MBA, President and Chief Executive Officer of WMCHealth. “This recognition reflects the extraordinary commitment of our physicians, nurses, researchers, and staff, who dedicate themselves every day to delivering the most advanced treatments with the greatest compassion. Being ranked nationally, as well as among the best in New York State and the Mid-Atlantic, is a testament to their relentless pursuit of excellence in caring for children and families facing life’s toughest challenges.”

Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital’s pediatric hematology/oncology specialists diagnose and treat children and adolescents with cancers including leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors, and blood disorders. The hospital offers access to advanced therapies and clinical trials while serving as an internationally recognized research hub in childhood cancer and blood diseases.

For the 2025–2026 rankings, U.S. News, together with RTI International, evaluated data from 118 children’s hospitals and surveyed thousands of pediatric specialists. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled in clinical outcomes, best-practice compliance, and resources directly tied to patient care.
