Northern Westchester Named 'Women's Choice Awards' Best Hospital

MOUNT KISCO, NY — In too many cases, equality does't always translate to the exam room, but one of the Hudson Valley's biggest healthcare providers is doing more than its fair share to change this perception.

Northern Westchester Hospital, part of Northwell Health, has been named one of the best hospitals in the country by the Women’s Choice Award, a leading referral source for the best in healthcare. Northern Westchester Hospital was determined to be one of the top healthcare providers in the country based on a review of almost 5,000 hospitals.

The Women's Choice Award is the only designation that takes into consideration the preferences of women when selecting a hospital. Northern Westchester Hospital was recognized in the areas of bariatric surgery, obstetrics, cancer care, comprehensive breast care, mammogram imaging, minimally invasive surgery, outpatient experience and women’s services.

"On behalf of our entire staff, it’s an honor to be named a top healthcare provider in all of these clinical areas," Northern Westchester Hospital Executive Director Derek Anderson said. "It’s especially rewarding since the award is based upon patient satisfaction in our community and recognizes the excellent care provided by every single member of our staff. From our award-winning culinary service to the administrative staff, nurses and doctors – they are all dedicated to delivering expert, compassionate care to every person who walks into our hospital."

The methodology for the Best Hospitals award recognizes excellence in patient services based on a criteria that considers patient satisfaction and clinical performance. In addition, each service line award has supplementary criteria that are specific to the service line, including accreditations and clinical outcomes.

Delia Passi, Founder of the Women’s Choice Award, noted that hospitals that earn the Women’s Choice Award as a "Best Hospital" deliver on the care that matters most to women, who make the majority of healthcare decisions.

"In addition to high-level performance on a national level, the Best Hospitals provide the care that women value most, including easily accessible services, timely diagnosis, exceptional care and a true dedication to their community," she said. "The Women’s Choice Award makes it easier for her to trust her decision that she is choosing one of the best hospitals for herself and her family."
