Edited by: TJVNews.com
Lenox Hill Hospital has been ranked among the “World’s Best Specialized Hospitals” for 2023 in neurosurgery (28), orthopedics (56), and cardiology (137) by Newsweek, a premier global news magazine. The hospital was recognized not only for expertise in these clinical specialties but also for being a pioneer of scientific development. The magazine emphasized that the list is comprised of international state-of-the-art medical facilities with the most accomplished physicians and clinicians that offer the highest level of patient care.
Newsweek, which partnered with global research firm Statista, based its annual peer-reviewed ratings on the recommendations of over 40,000 medical experts in more than 20 countries, results from patient surveys, and key medical performance indicators. Industry leaders, ranging from doctors to hospital managers, were asked to submit hospital recommendations based on their area of expertise, which were then tabulated and validated by an international board of renowned medical experts. The rankings feature the top 125 hospitals in the fields of neurosurgery and orthopedics and the top 300 hospitals for cardiology.
“I am so proud to once again see our neurosurgery, orthopedics and cardiology departments ranked within Newsweek’s world’s best hospitals list. It confirms what we already know here at Lenox Hill – our patients receive exceptional care from a dedicated staff of world-class clinicians,” said Daniel Baker, MD, executive director of Lenox Hill Hospital. “I congratulate all members of these departments for this prestigious recognition of their hard work and dedication to our patients.”
The three specialties recognized by Newsweek, also received high ratings from U.S. News and World Report for 2022-23. The leading consumer report publication rated Lenox Hill’s cardiology and heart surgery department at 15th best in the nation, orthopedics at 17th, and neurology and neurosurgery at 22nd. In addition, Lenox Hill’s cardiothoracic program received three-star ratings from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons for superior outcomes in two complex heart procedures: isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and isolated mitral valve replacement and repair (MVRR).
Healthgrades recognized Lenox Hill as one of 100 best hospitals in the U.S. for cardiac care and coronary intervention. The online health resource also placed the medical center within the top 1% of hospitals in the nation for clinical care quality and within the top 5% of all U.S. hospitals for patient safety for 2022. The hospital also received five-star distinctions for coronary bypass surgery, coronary intervention procedures, treatment of heart failure, transurethral prostate resection surgery, appendectomy, and treatment of sepsis.
