H.R. No. 52 is a resolution congratulating The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center for being named the top cancer care facility in the nation for the 11th consecutive year by the 2025-2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals list. MD Anderson has consistently ranked among the top two hospitals for cancer care since the survey's inception in 1990. This year, the center not only reclaimed the top honor but also received high rankings in other specialties such as otolaryngology, urology, and gastroenterology, highlighting its excellence in various cancer treatment procedures.
The resolution acknowledges MD Anderson's significant contributions to cancer treatment and research, noting that in 2024, approximately 187,000 patients received care at the facility, which invested around $1.3 billion in research. The center's recent accolades, including a five-star rating in Vizient's Quality and Accountability scorecard and a Magnet with Distinction designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, further emphasize its commitment to high standards of patient care. The Texas House of Representatives expresses its sincere best wishes for the continued success of MD Anderson and its dedicated staff through this resolution.
