PITTSBURGH, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Allegheny Health Network (AHN) West Penn Hospital, AHN's flagship hospital for women's health, has been named one of the top 50 hospitals in the nation for obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN), according to the U.S. News and World Report Best Hospitals Rankings, released to the public today.

Also factored into the final ranking are the views of patients about the quality of their experience at hospitals, as well as the hospital's reputation among board-certified physicians.

"Allegheny Health Network is immensely proud of the AHN West Penn team and the AHN Women's Institute," stated Marcia Klein-Patel, MD, PhD, OB/GYN physician and chair of AHN Women's Institute.
