Three New York City-area hospitals have been named to U.S. News & World Report's annual "honor roll," signifying their placement among the nation's top 20 hospitals for exceptional care across multiple specialties. NYU Langone Hospitals, Mount Sinai Hospital, and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell were recognized in the latest "Best Hospitals" rankings released Tuesday.
These three institutions also tied for the No. 1 spot among the best regional hospitals in the New York City metropolitan area. U.S. News evaluated nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide across 14 adult specialties and 23 procedures and conditions. Only 16% of hospitals earned a "Best Hospitals" designation by demonstrating excellence in measures such as risk-adjusted mortality, preventable complications, and patient experience.
NYU Langone Hospitals maintained its position as the nation's top-ranked hospital in neurology and neurosurgery for the fifth consecutive year, as well as in cardiology, heart, and vascular care for the second year in a row. The health system also received high-performing designations in all 23 evaluated procedures and conditions. Its facilities, including Tisch Hospital, Kimmel Pavilion, NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital, NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island, and NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn, all contributed to this recognition. NYU Langone Hospital—Suffolk, which joined the health system last year, was ranked separately and received high-performing ratings for pneumonia, heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell ranked among the nation's top five in eight specialties. With the addition of ophthalmology to the list this year, it became the only New York hospital to be ranked in the top 20 across all 14 specialties. The hospital has been recognized by U.S. News as a Best Regional Hospital for Community Access for its commitment to serving underserved communities. This marks the 23rd consecutive year NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell has been recognized as one of the nation's best hospitals and a No. 1 hospital in New York.
Mount Sinai Hospital secured top-five rankings in two specialties: cardiology, heart and vascular surgery, and geriatrics. It also placed in the top 10 for cancer care and was recognized as a Best Regional Hospital for Community Access. Dr. David L.
