Utica's Wynn Hospital Ranked No. 5 on 2026 'Most Beautiful Hospitals' List
Why it matters here
Wynn is the downtown Utica hospital most of Oneida County now uses, and it climbed three spots from last year's eighth-place finish in the same public vote.
Wynn Hospital in downtown Utica placed fifth out of 20 on the 2026 Most Beautiful Hospitals list from healthcare staffing firm Soliant, released Oct. 23, 2026, Becker's Hospital Review reports. The ranking comes from a public vote: Soliant counted 164,184 votes cast between Sept. 14 and Oct. 16.
The 2026 top five:
| Rank | Hospital | Location |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | La Rabida Children's Hospital | Chicago, Ill. |
| 2 | Jasper Memorial Hospital | Monticello, Ga. |
| 3 | Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital | Wheaton, Ill. |
| 4 | Mercy Hospital Carthage | Carthage, Mo. |
| 5 | Wynn Hospital | Utica, N.Y. |
Soliant says the contest looks at both a hospital's buildings and the people who work there. Wynn, the flagship of the Mohawk Valley Health System, opened in October 2023 and finished eighth in the 2025 edition of the contest.
