File under: actually good news. Three New York City hospitals just landed spots on U.S. News & World Report’s annual Honor Roll, a coveted list that names the top 20 medical centers in the country. And no surprise here—they’re all heavy hitters.
Mount Sinai Hospital, NYU Langone and NewYork-Presbyterian-Columbia and Cornell were all recognized for their high-quality care across a wide range of specialties, from heart surgery to neurology to pediatric care. They also ranked as the top three hospitals in the state, making New York City officially the best place to get patched up.
NYU Langone pulled off something no other hospital in the country did this year: it snagged more No. 1 specialty rankings than anyone else. That includes top marks in neurology, cardiology, pulmonology and geriatric care. So yeah, they’re kind of a big deal.
Not to be outdone, NewYork-Presbyterian made the Honor Roll for the 22nd straight year, with 12 specialties landing in the national Top 10. And Mount Sinai also cracked the list thanks to strong showings in 12 adult specialties and three pediatric ones, plus the kind of science-first, patient-centered approach that earned them a glowing shout-out from their CEO.
The rankings are based on patient outcomes, specialty performance and behind-the-scenes metrics that make healthcare nerds swoon. It’s a way for patients to figure out where to go when things get serious—and for hospitals to flex a little.
Other local notables: Montefiore Einstein in the Bronx and Lenox Hill Hospital both placed in the state’s top five and 11 NYC Health + Hospitals locations made the broader “Best Hospitals” list.
Moral of the story? New York doesn’t just have some of the best bagels and Broadway shows—you’ll also find some of the best hospitals in the country, right in your backyard.
