Sorry, friends, not much context on this one.
It´s for a hospital webpage, and it´s the title of a section that talks about their Spinal Cord Injury Unit.
Reference Hospital?
Benchmark Hospital?
other ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Benchmark Hospital
Yes, this has come up in various forms before. It's newish jargon both in English and Spanish (and can't say I'm fond...)
"But becoming a benchmark hospital in the 75th percentile—a goal to which Salas aspires—was elusive." http://www.allbusiness.com/retail-trade/eating-drinking-plac...
"July 20, 2005 - The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and the Ontario Hospital Association have named St. John's Rehab Hospital a benchmark hospital for rehabilitation care and service." http://www.stjohnsrehab.com/newsAndEvents/story.aspx?crypt=��...
"We aim to become a benchmark hospital, known for delivering excellence in patient care" www.nursingnetuk.com/employerdetails/822
The first two are North Am refs, the last one from UK.
I prefer Benchmark over Reference Hospital since on occasions the use of Reference is actually a case of straightforward comparison rather than implying that it is the best in its field.

: Hi Noni! I rather like "benchmark", the standard of excellence by which others can be judged or can use as guidance. :->

Agree with yr first comment, but I wanted to point out that Reference can be used in two senses. However, I don't discount Reference Hospital.
