Four NYC-area hospitals made a nationwide Top 20 list in US News & World Report’s annual “honor roll” that recognizes medical centers providing high-quality care.
Mount Sinai Hospital, New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell, NYU Langone Hospitals and Hackensack University Medical Center at Hackensack Meridian Health in Hackensack, NJ, earned top honors in the “Best Hospitals” rankings released Tuesday.
Those same four health centers tied for first place for best regional hospitals in the NYC metro area.
US News evaluated over 4,400 hospitals across 15 specialties, spotlighting 504 regional hospitals around the country.
For its part, NYU Langone Health notched more No. 1-ranked specialties than any US medical center, thriving in neurology and neurosurgery (for the fourth consecutive year); cardiology, heart and vascular surgery; pulmonology and lung surgery; and geriatric care.
“Thanks to the incredible employees working across our integrated health system, NYU Langone has achieved something unmatched this year: The most top-ranked medical specialties among any of our peers across the nation,” said Dr. Robert I. Grossman, CEO of NYU Langone and dean of NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
“NYU Langone has always maintained one consistently high standard of care, regardless of location and specialty, allowing us to consistently deliver the best quality and outcomes to our patients.”
These rankings extend to NYU Langone’s Tisch Hospital, Kimmel Pavilion and NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital in Manhattan; NYU Langone Hospital – Long Island and NYU Langone Hospital – Brooklyn.
Data for this year’s rankings covered a period before Long Island Community Hospital became NYU Langone Hospital – Suffolk in March.
All 13 of NYU Langone’s ranked clinical specialties were in the Top 20 nationally.
“The breadth and depth of our neurology and neurosurgery teams allow us to take care of the most complicated patients. We are very grateful that our teams have been recognized again — for the fourth time,” Dr. Steven L. Galetta, the Philip K. Moskowitz professor and chair of Neurology at NYU Langone, told The Post.
Dr. Glenn I. Fishman, the William Goldring professor of medicine and director of the Leon H. Charney Division of Cardiology at NYU Langone Health, called the cardiology, heart and vascular surgery ranking “not just a measure of excellence.”
“It’s a reflection of lives changed, futures restored and what’s possible when every part of a heart program works in unison,” he told The Post.
Mount Sinai, meanwhile, held Top 10 rankings in five specialties, up from four in 2024, and Top 20 rankings in nine specialties, up from eight in 2024.
“These rankings once again reflect the unwavering commitment to science, innovation and the exceptional, patient-centered care that define the Mount Sinai Hospital and our entire health system,” said Dr. Brendan G. Carr, CEO and the Kenneth L. Davis distinguished chair of the Mount Sinai Health System.
New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell noted that it is being recognized for the 22nd consecutive year, with 12 specialties in the Top 10.
“We are grateful to our extraordinary doctors, nurses and staff who are dedicated to providing the highest quality, most compassionate care to our patients and improving the health of all the communities we serve,” the hospital told The Post in a statement.
And making history this year is Hackensack University Medical Center, which became the first hospital in New Jersey to be ranked a Top 20 national hospital by US News.
“This historic Top 20 national ranking belongs to our team members,” said Robert C. Garrett, CEO of Hackensack Meridian Health.
“It was forged in the early morning hours by our nurses, earned in the operating room by our surgeons and built daily by every team member who puts our patients first.”
