When you’re facing a health issue, finding the right quality hospital is a top priority. That’s where HealthLocator comes in—a new, easy-to-use digital tool built by Mayo Clinic.

What Is HealthLocator?

HealthLocator is a free, public resource that lets you search and compare quality scores for more than 5,000 hospitals across the United States. Whether you’re looking for the best quality hospital in your state, city, or need specialized care—like treatment for heart valve replacement or colon cancer surgery—HealthLocator makes it simple to find top-quality care near you.

No Account Needed—Just Search and Compare

HealthLocator is completely free to use. There’s no need to create an account and no  subscriptions. Just visit the site and start searching—your privacy and convenience come first.

How Does It Work?

HealthLocator brings together existing external national quality data into one clear, trusted source . Hospitals are scored on three key areas:

• Quality Outcomes: How well hospitals keep patients healthy, ensure survival, and avoid readmissions.
• Patient Experience: Based on real patient feedback about cleanliness, comfort, and care team efficiency.
• Patient Safety: Measures how well hospitals avoid preventable errors and complications like infections and bedsores.

All scores are based on publicly available federal data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), including patient surveys and safety metrics. The ratings are updated quarterly, so you always have the latest information.

Why Trust HealthLocator?

HealthLocator was built by Mayo Clinic. It’s the same approach Mayo Clinic uses internally to guide its own quality improvements—and now it’s available to everyone as a public service.

Make Informed Choices for Your Health

Choosing a quality hospital shouldn’t be stressful or complicated. Created for patients by those who serve them, HealthLocator reflects Mayo Clinic’s primary value, the needs of the patient come first and is offered as a public service to help people make more informed healthcare decisions.
