10 Leading U.S. Hospitals for Emotional Support in 2025

We’re proud to share the next installment of our 2025 US Children’s Hospital Rankings, and this time we’re focusing on Emotional Support.

What is Emotional Support?

Emotional Support is one of seven core experience domains we measure and benchmark across every US hospital and clinic. It reflects the compassion, empathy, and dedication of staff to meet the emotional needs of patients and their loved ones through some of life’s toughest moments. Connections like these are the foundation of trust.

Leading the way this year in Emotional Support, and cementing their place as PEP Health’s #1 Children’s Hospital for Overall Patient Experience in 2025, is Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, Memorial Hermann Health System.
