PITTSBURGH, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Allegheny Health Network (AHN) West Penn Hospital, AHN's flagship hospital for women's health, has been named one of the top 50 hospitals in the nation for obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN), according to the U.S. News and World Report Best Hospitals Rankings, released to the public today.

AHN West Penn was ranked 35th in the nation for OB/GYN, marking the fourth consecutive year the hospital has been placed in the top 50 for women's care by U.S. News. It has also been designated as a high-performing hospital for gynecologic oncology (GYN/ONC), among other procedures and specialties.

To identify the best hospitals in the country for obstetrics and gynecology, U.S. News evaluates facilities that provide a high volume of complex care related to pelvic, cervical, uterine and ovarian cancers, diseases and procedures.

U.S. News considers factors such as 30-day survival for complex conditions, the number of patients served, and advanced technologies and services available. Also factored into the final ranking are the views of patients about the quality of their experience at hospitals, as well as the hospital's reputation among board-certified physicians.

"Allegheny Health Network is immensely proud of the AHN West Penn team and the AHN Women's Institute," stated Marcia Klein-Patel, MD, PhD, OB/GYN physician and chair of AHN Women's Institute. "This marks the fourth year in a row that U.S. News & World Report has acknowledged our commitment to women's health, and this remarkable achievement is a direct result of the tireless efforts and compassionate care provided by our extraordinary physicians and clinicians day in and day out. Their unwavering dedication to positive health outcomes and the well-being of women across this region is at the heart of our continued success."

West Penn Hospital is AHN's busiest labor and delivery center, delivering about 4,000 babies each year, and it includes a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit that offers high-level care to critically ill babies. The hospital also houses the AHN Women's Behavioral Health and the Alexis Joy D'Achille Center for Perinatal Mental Health, supporting mothers during pregnancy, postpartum and beyond.

AHN West Penn and the AHN Women's Institute are also home to an award-winning gynecologic oncology care team that specializes in the treatment, management and care of reproductive cancers such as ovarian, cervical and uterine, as well as vaginal and vulva cancers.
