Lenox Hill Hospital holds a national reputation for outstanding patient care and innovative medical and surgical treatments. It is consistently ranked among the nation’s best hospitals by the U.S. News & World Report. For 2020-21, it was listed as one the top 10 hospitals in the state of New York and ranked among the nation’s best for ear, nose and throat; diabetes and endocrinology; and neurology and neurosurgery. In addition, the hospital received “high performing” designations from U.S. News for its performance in gastroenterology and GI surgery; geriatrics; nephrology; orthopedics; pulmonology; and urology.
Lenox Hill recently received the rare and coveted Magnet status for its commitment to nursing excellence and dedication to the highest quality of patient care. The prestigious international designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) has been achieved by only eight percent of hospitals worldwide. The hospital has also been granted premier accreditation by the Commission on Cancer (CoC) for meeting national quality cancer care standards in 34 key areas and for maintaining excellence in the delivery of comprehensive, patient-centered oncology care. Lenox Hill’s cancer program offers a broad array of oncology services in more than a dozen clinical specialties and a vast multidisciplinary network of specialized clinicians throughout Manhattan.
To honor its commitment to delivering premier clinical care, Lenox Hill has made major investments in recruiting nationally recognized physicians, including numerous prominent oncology experts. The hospital is also dedicated to expanding and enhancing its clinical programs. It has recently established a brand-new midwifery program as a supplemental obstetrical service for maternity patients. The program, a first-of-its-kind for Lenox Hill, offers the full scope of comprehensive, personalized well-woman care options to ensure safety and comfort, as well as to minimize complications during pregnancy and delivery.
Northwell Health is planning a major revitalization of Lenox Hill to be prepared to efficiently deliver the next generation of care and effectively adapt to the changes in modern medicine. The goal is to create a renovated, modernized facility that will feature all private patient rooms, an expanded emergency department, new surgical suites and other clinical spaces, and a dedicated mother-baby hospital with its own separate entrance. As Northwell Health’s flagship hospital in Manhattan, Lenox Hill has delivered world-class clinical care for more than 160 years and currently treats more than 163,000 patients annually. Northwell Health has invested more than $200 million in capital improvements since Lenox Hill Hospital joined the 23-hospital health system in 2010.
The hospital’s neurosurgery team was recently the subject of the highly-acclaimed Netflix docudrama “Lenox Hill.”
