AdventHealth Orlando in Florida stands as the largest hospital in the United States, boasting an impressive 2,247 beds as of August 2024. This expansive facility exemplifies the scale of modern healthcare infrastructure, with Jackson Memorial Hospital, also in Florida, following as the second-largest. Evolving landscape of U.S. hospitals Despite the decline in the total number of hospitals since 1980, the healthcare sector continues to grow in other ways. U.S. hospitals now employ about 7.5 million workers and generate a gross output of around 1,161 billion U.S. dollars. The Hospital Corporation of America, based in Nashville, Tennessee, leads the pack as the largest health system in the country, operating 222 hospitals as of February 2025. This reflects a trend towards consolidation and the rise of for-profit hospital chains, which gained prominence in the 1990s. Specialization and emergency care While bed count is one measure of hospital size, institutions also distinguish themselves through specialization and emergency care capabilities. For instance, the University of California at Los Angeles Medical Center performed 22,287 organ transplants between January 1988 and March 2025, making it the leading transplant center in the nation. In terms of emergency care, Parkland Health and Hospital System in Dallas recorded the highest number of emergency department visits in 2022, with 226,178 patients seeking urgent care.

Specialty hospitals have seen positive growth despite Medicare and Medicaid funding fluctuations, swings in the number of insured individuals and changes in per capita disposable income. Supportive non-operating investment income and diverse payor sources have supported continued revenue growth. At the same time, substantial government funding during the pandemic and waivers permitting the implementation of telehealth allowed hospitals to weather short-term demand and cost shocks. Despite the variability in funding and demand shock, revenue grew at a CAGR of 2.1% to $64.7 billion in 2024, with revenue increasing by 1.2% in 2024 alone. Mergers and consolidation continue to be prevalent trends among specialty hospitals. Belonging to a larger hospital chain allows specialty hospitals to benefit from economies of scale and increased access to innovation. Consolidation empowers specialty hospitals in health insurance contract negotiations, resulting in favorable prices. Also, larger establishments can negotiate more favorable terms with suppliers of critical inputs, leading to decreased costs and increased profit. Technological innovation has been pivotal in enhancing care quality and reducing operational costs, and smaller independent specialty hospitals may face challenges in bringing this quality to the market. Considerable investment required to procure advanced technology at large general hospitals puts smaller, unaffiliated specialty hospitals at a disadvantage. The outlook for specialty hospitals remains positive. With the growth in Medicaid and Medicare funding continuing at previous levels and a healthy economy supporting increased private insurance coverage, revenue and profit will climb. While state-level Certificate of Need (CON) laws may influence geographic concentration and boost competition, the hospital chain organizational trend will strengthen negotiating capabilities with insurance companies and suppliers. Specialty hospitals are emphasizing outpatient services, including advanced same-day surgeries. This shift is driven by patient preference, cost-efficiency and innovations such as minimally invasive procedures. Advancements in telehealth and remote monitoring will let hospitals manage post-surgery care effectively, reducing inpatient admissions. Lastly, demographic and preference shifts (a growing adult population with a higher prevalence of chronic diseases and a younger demographic benefiting from state-of-the-art technology) will drive customers to seek healthcare services at specialty hospitals. Revenue is forecast to rally at a CAGR of 2.9% through 2029 to total $74.6 billion and profit increasing to 14.7%.

According to a ranking of the best hospitals in the U.S., the best hospital for adult cardiology, heart, and vascular surgery is the **************** in Ohio, which had a score of *** out of 100, as of 2024.

Public reporting of measures of hospital performance is an important component of quality improvement efforts in many countries. However, it can be challenging to provide an overall characterization of hospital performance because there are many measures of quality. In the United States, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reports over 100 measures that describe various domains of hospital quality, such as outcomes, the patient experience and whether established processes of care are followed. Although individual quality measures provide important insight, it is challenging to understand hospital performance as characterized by multiple quality measures. Accordingly, we developed a novel approach for characterizing hospital performance that highlights the similarities and differences between hospitals and identifies common patterns of hospital performance. Specifically, we built a semi-supervised machine learning algorithm and applied it to the publicly-available quality measures for 1,614 U.S. hospitals to graphically and quantitatively characterize hospital performance. In the resulting visualization, the varying density of hospitals demonstrates that there are key clusters of hospitals that share specific performance profiles, while there are other performance profiles that are rare. Several popular hospital rating systems aggregate some of the quality measures included in our study to produce a composite score; however, hospitals that were top-ranked by such systems were scattered across our visualization, indicating that these top-ranked hospitals actually excel in many different ways. Our application of a novel graph analytics method to data describing U.S. hospitals revealed nuanced differences in performance that are obscured in existing hospital rating systems.

Intravenous (IV) solution manufacturers have a critical role in healthcare delivery, supplying essential fluids like saline and dextrose used in virtually every care setting, from hospitals and surgical centers to outpatient infusion clinics. Historically, demand has remained stable and predictable, linked closely to procedure volumes and inpatient utilization. However, over the past five years, demand has accelerated because of a shift toward outpatient care, the rise of home infusions and growth in chronic disease management. The expansion of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and non-hospital care sites has also created new, decentralized demand for IV fluids, increasing the number of delivery points. Despite being a commoditized product, IV solutions are volume-driven and critical to day-to-day patient care, which places pressure on manufacturers to deliver a consistent supply at a low price. The rising purchasing power of group purchasing organizations (GPOs) has intensified price competition among manufacturers, pushing prices lower and making it challenging for suppliers to invest in new capacity or product innovation. In all, revenue has risen at a CAGR of 0.2% to an estimated $3.4 billion over the past five years, including expected growth of 3.2% in 2025. In 2024, the industry’s vulnerability was exposed when Hurricane Helene severely disrupted Baxter’s North Cove facility in North Carolina, the single largest US producer, with this single facility accounting for roughly 60% of the national IV fluid supply. The flooding led to an immediate nationwide shortage, forcing hospitals to ration fluids and scramble for backup suppliers. The event highlighted the pitfalls of a highly concentrated industry where a handful of facilities produce nearly all the domestic supply. While competitors like B. Braun ramped up output and FEMA authorized emergency imports, the shortage underscored how disruptions have system-wide effects. The disruption at Baxter’s North Cove facility caused its market share to drop as hospitals and GPOs shifted orders to competitors like B. Braun and imports. This event pushed health systems and buyers to diversify their supplier base, weakening reliance on any single manufacturer and potentially prompting a long-term shift in market dynamics. IV solution manufacturing is expected to grow moderately, driven by outpatient expansion, aging demographics and increased chronic care treatment. However, growth will be uneven across settings: while hospitals remain the largest customers, infusion clinics and home care are driving new demand that requires more nimble packaging and distribution models. Manufacturers will be under pressure to modernize facilities, diversify geographic production and improve risk management capabilities. Long-term, demand will continue rising, but aggressive GPO pricing, high regulatory costs and the commoditized nature of the product will constrain profit. New competitors, including a Saudi-based IV production facility (announced in May 2025 in Trump’s Saudi-US economic partnership), could introduce headwinds too. Investments in automation and efficiency will be essential for manufacturers to remain competitive, control costs and maintain reliability. Revenue will expand moving forward, increasing at a CAGR of 2.3% to an estimated $3.9 billion over the next five years.

The National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS), conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), collects annual data on visits to emergency departments to describe patterns of utilization and provision of ambulatory care delivery in the United States. Data are collected from nonfederal, general, and short-stay hospitals from all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, and are used to develop nationally representative estimates. The data include counts and rates of emergency department visits from 2016-2022 for the 10 leading primary diagnoses and reasons for visit, stratified by selected patient and hospital characteristics. Rankings for the 10 leading categories were identified using weighted data from 2022 and were then assessed in prior years.
