Healthcare hosting splits in two. If your site stores patient data you need a signed BAA and HIPAA ready infrastructure; if it is a marketing site with no patient data, a secure mainstream host is fine. We weighted HIPAA readiness, security, uptime and support, then ranked the five that fit best.

Best for patient data
The only host here that will sign a business associate agreement and build HIPAA ready infrastructure, with encrypted backups, managed firewalls and intrusion detection. It is enterprise priced and quote based, but it is the right answer when you handle patient data.
A strong, secure home for a healthcare marketing site with no patient data on it. Managed WordPress, staging and a hardened platform keep a clinic or practice site fast and safe. It does not sign a BAA, so keep patient data off it.
Premium managed WordPress with isolated containers, strong security and fast global delivery, well suited to a practice site that needs to look polished and load quickly. Like most managed hosts here, it is not for storing patient data.
Reliable, secure and well supported hosting for a small clinic or practice marketing site. Good caching, daily backups and a web application firewall cover the basics. Reserve it for sites that hold no patient data.
Managed cloud that can run on isolated infrastructure with strong security controls, a fit for a growing health brand that needs room to scale. It does not provide a BAA on standard plans, so it is for non patient facing sites.
