5 NYC Health Care Facilities Among 100 ‘Great Hospitals In America’

NEW YORK CITY— Five hospitals in New York City are among 100 of the best in the country, according to a new national report.

The “Great Hospitals in America” list, from Chicago-based trade publication Becker’s Healthcare, includes many of the same hospitals as rankings of U.S. News & World Report, Healthgrades, The Leapfrog Group and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

“These hospitals are widely recognized for their clinical excellence, commitment to patient safety, innovative initiatives, research efforts, education and high levels of patient satisfaction,” the company said.

Becker’s said the list of 100 hospitals is not exhaustive, and is not an endorsement of the included hospitals. Hospitals submitted nominations, and Becker’s editorial team conducted research to compile their list.

In NYC, here are the health care facilities that made the top 100 (listed in alphabetical order):
