UC Davis Medical Center was ranked as the No. 1 hospital in Sacramento and No. 7 in California.
This marks the 14th consecutive year UC Davis Medical Center has earned the top spot locally. The medical center was also named the No. 7 hospital in California, continuing an 11-year streak of being ranked in the state’s top 10.

We’re working to address these factors and move our community closer to true health equity.”
