Half a dozen New York City hospitals earned coveted spots on U.S. News and World Report’s annual Best Hospitals list, which hits newsstands Monday.
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital ranked sixth on an “honor roll” of the 19 best hospitals in the country. Johns Hopkins Hospital ranked first on the honor roll list. Overall, the magazine ranked 170 hospitals.
“We’ve taken one area after another and recruited new leaders and strengthened the programs and built new technology,” the president and CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, Dr. Herbert Pardes, said.
Other New York hospitals to earn spots on the list include the Hospital for Special Surgery, which ranked first in orthopedics, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, which ranked second in cancer care. Mount Sinai Medical Center was ranked third in geriatric care.
