Saint Michael's Ranked Among State's Best Hospitals

A news magazine recently listed Saint Michael’s Medical Center in Newark among the state’s best hospitals in a ranking of medical institutions across the country.

US News & World Report also gave the nearly 150-year-old Catholic hospital high marks in a number of specialized areas, including cardiology and heart surgery, neurology and neurosurgery, geriatrics and nephrology. This year’s annual ranking was announced last week.

“With a distinguished ranking of 15, Saint Michael’s is recognized once again for providing quality care to the citizens of Newark and northern New Jersey. Our compassionate doctors, nurses and health professionals deserve this recognition for the diligent care they provide to our patients each day,” said David A. Ricci, president and CEO of Saint Michael’s Medical Center.

Last year, Saint Michael’s ranked 20th in the state.

The ranking is based on a number of factors, including survival rates, an assessment of resources, physicians’ surveys and staffing levels.
