Spok Customers Highlighted on U.S. News & World Report’s Children’s Best Hospitals Honor Roll

Top children's hospitals continue to rely on Spok for clinical communications.

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spok, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Spok Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPOK) and a global leader in healthcare communications, is honored to announce that nine out of 10 children’s hospitals named to the 2024-2025 U.S. News & World Report Best Children’s Hospitals Honor Roll use Spok industry-leading secure healthcare communication solutions to facilitate care collaboration and support exceptional patient care. For over 10 years, nearly every hospital named to the Children’s Best Hospitals Honor Roll has relied on Spok solutions.

“As a company dedicated to transforming how hospitals communicate, we're proud that nine out of 10 of the best children's hospitals rely on Spok solutions for smarter, faster clinical communication,” said Vincent D. Kelly, chief executive officer of Spok Holdings, Inc. “This recognition underscores our commitment to providing innovative tools that empower our customers to deliver exceptional care to their young patients."

The Best Children’s Hospitals rankings identified almost 110 children’s hospitals and surveyed thousands of pediatric specialists with demonstrated expertise in one or more of 11 pediatric specialties - with the new addition of behavioral health. U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in hospital rankings, has conducted the Best Children’s Hospitals rankings since 2007. Over 100 medical centers were evaluated through a comprehensive survey that assesses measures like patient safety, infection prevention, and nurse staffing adequacy. In 2024-2025, only 88 children's hospitals were ranked in at least one of the 11 pediatric specialties evaluated, with 10 hospitals earning top honors and being named to the 2024-2025 Best Children's Hospitals list.

In July 2024, U.S. News & World Report released its 2024-2025 Best Hospital Honor Roll ranking. Eighteen of the 20 adult hospitals named to the list also use Spok solutions. These rankings are among the most referenced by consumers because they primarily focus on clinical outcomes, adherence to established best practices, and the level and quality of hospital resources directly tied to patient care.
