Four New York hospitals — three in New York and one on Long Island — are among the nation’s top 20 medical centers, U.S. News & World Report announced Tuesday.
Mount Sinai Hospital, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell, North Shore University Hospital at Northwell Health in Manhasset, and NYU Langone Hospitals are on the 2024-2025 Honor Roll.
All four institutions received an honor roll last year for, among other things, their patient survival rates and the quality of nursing care.
Last year, US News stopped numerically ranking its top-performing media outlets after accusations of bias and imprecise methodology.
For its annual rankings, the outlet evaluates nearly 5,000 hospitals, evaluating them on more than 30 medical and surgical services. With five hospitals making the honor roll, California was the only state to beat out New York.
Dr. Robert I. Grossman, CEO of NYU Langone and dean of the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, noted that the accolades extend to all NYU Langone hospitals, including Tisch Hospital, Kimmel Pavilion and NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital in Manhattan; NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island; and NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn.
“Not only is our overall ranking one of the highest in the United States, but nine of our specialties are among the top five in the country,” Grossman said in a statement to The Post. “We are unique in that exceptional patient outcomes come from all of our hospitals, and each of those contributes to our ranking.”
In its statement, Northwell Health said North Shore University Hospital ranked in the top 51 in all 10 specialties it serves. Six other Northwell Health facilities also performed well in the ratings.
“Providing a great patient experience is the ultimate goal for all of our hospitals at Northwell, and the most recent U.S. News Best Hospitals list demonstrates our commitment to making that happen,” said Michael Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell.
In a memo to faculty and staff, Mount Sinai leaders noted that the hospital has been named to the Honor Roll for the ninth consecutive year and ranked number one in the United States for geriatric services for the fifth consecutive year.
