Doctors Hospital of Laredo has been named to the 2026 Forbes list of America’s Top Hospitals. The recognition is based on a rating system that emphasizes healthcare quality measures, including patient outcomes, hospital best practices, value and patient experience. DHL was one of 13 hospitals in Texas to receive an overall rating of five stars.
Introduced in 2026, the Forbes Top Hospitals list helps consumers identify U.S. acute care hospitals that consistently deliver strong quality and value. The rating system uses independently validated measures from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Provider Data Catalog, assessing hospitals on patient outcomes, best practices, value and patient experience.
“We are honored to be recognized as a 2026 Top Hospital by Forbes,” Doctors Hospital of Laredo CEO Andrew Wilson said. “This distinction reflects the dedication and expertise of our entire care team, who strive daily to provide exceptional, patient-centered care. Being named alongside hospitals nationwide underscores our commitment to clinical excellence, innovation and the well-being of the communities we proudly serve.”
A key component of the methodology is its emphasis on clinical patient outcomes, including mortality, survival, infection and readmission rates. These outcomes are adjusted for social drivers of health to support fair comparisons among hospitals, regardless of location or patient population.
