This can mean something as simple as keeping a first-aid kit stocked with bandages and ointment, but it can also entail seeking out medical specialists at top-tier children's hospitals. The Industry Impact Report from the Children's Hospital Association, released in December 2023, found that the role of children's hospitals extends past caring for the young-more than three-quarters of the facilities surveyed were actively involved in their communities to address issues like mental health, gun violence and nutrition and exercise. And the advancements uncovered by children's medical centers have benefits reaching beyond their patients, as a full 93 percent of them share their findings from research or clinical trials with the public and private sectors. While they are key players in the health of overall communities, these institutions' immediate focus is on the care of their patients. To help families find the leading facilities nationwide, Newsweek is partnering with data intelligence platform Statista for the second annual ranking of America's Best Children's Hospitals. The list was compiled from four data sources: a nationwide online survey of health care professionals working in pediatrics, hospital quality metrics, patient experience surveys and whether the facilities have implemented Patient-Reported Outcome Measures, or PROMs, to optimize care. These hospitals were ranked across eight fields: cardiology & cardiac surgery, endocrinology, gastroenterology & gastrointestinal surgery, neonatology, neurology & neurosurgery, oncology & hematology, orthopedics and pulmonology & thoracic surgery. The medical attention provided by these hospitals represents the best that a family could find, and Newsweek is proud to honor them with this ranking.

Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie
PARIS HILTON AND NICOLE RICHIE ARE READY TO BRING A LITTLE “SANASA” to the world with Peacock's Paris & Nicole: The Encore, their first project together since their reality show The Simple Life ended in 2007. What's “sanasa”? It's a song and phrase the longtime friends created as kids and popularized on The Simple Life. The show, a cultural phenomenon in the early days of reality TV, followed them over a series of blue-collar jobs. Now they're bringing it back as an opera. “I know this is just going to make people laugh, have fun, be nostalgic and just celebrate our friendship,” Hilton said. While Richie acknowledged “you can't do Simple Life again,” she said now “felt like the right time.” The famous pair also revisit some old jobs in Arkansas, like fast-food chain Sonic, where they now have drinks named for them. “I think that there is a part of our friend- ship that the show ended up showing that people connect to,” Richie said. As for this new special, Hilton is glad to do something positive for their fans. “It's been such a crazy past couple years, and I just feel like the world needs more joy.”
