Morristown Hospital Is The Best In NJ, Newsweek Says In New List

MORRISTOWN, NJ — Morristown Medical Center is among the best in New Jersey, Newsweek says in its first-ever ranking of America’s Best In-State Hospitals.

Morristown Medical Center ranked first on the list. Eight other New Jersey hospitals made the list.

Every hospital in the country was eligible for the inaugural ranking for 2024, which includes 600 hospitals across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The results are based on four data sources, including surveys by Newsweek’s data partner, Statista, of doctors, hospital administrators and other healthcare professionals, as well as patients, and Medicare and Medicaid data.

The final scores were weighted on peer recommendations (32.5 percent in-state and 7.5 percent out-of-state), patient experience (17.5 percent), hospital quality metrics (40 percent) and implementation of standardized Patient-Reported Outcome Measures, or PROMs (2.5 percent).

Morristown Medical Center earned an 86.80 percent grade.

The eight other New Jersey hospitals named to the Best-In-State list are:

• Hackensack University Medical Center, Hackensack
• Overlook Medical Center, Summit
• Englewood Hospital and Medical Center, Englewood
• RWJBarnabas Health - Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, New Brunswick
• Cooper University Hospital, Camden

This outstanding achievement is a testament to their dedication and expertise.”
