U.S. News Top Hospital
U.S. News & World Report has named NewYork-Presbyterian as one of “America’s Best Hospitals” for 11 years in a row. For 2011-2012, we ranked among the top hospitals in 15 of their 16 listed specialties. That makes us the #6 hospital in the nation, #1 in New York City.

There’s more. We consistently make the Honor Roll for “America’s Best Children’s Hospitals,” ranking 10 out of 10 among top hospitals in all pediatric specialties. That makes our story one of sustained and all-encompassing success.

More than just a “hub of excellence,” what drives us is providing outstanding patient care. That’s why our motto is, “We put patients first.”

Internationally Acclaimed
We’re the official hospital of the New York Yankees and the New York Giants. But that’s not even the whole story. We’re posting our highest patient satisfaction scores ever. In 2011, one third of all NYP departments exceeded the 90% patient satisfaction rate. Simultaneously, we’re posting all time highs for employee satisfaction, setting the national standard.

Every year, our patient case mix index increases, solidifying our status as a “destination hospital” for patients with complex medical challenges. Some come all the way. That’s why other top-ranked hospitals visit us: to see our work in practice. In virtually every medical field, we set new standards and pioneer new treatments.

Perhaps because of this focus, an NYP nurse has received one of the five New York Times “Tribute to Nurses” awards for three years running. We’re also home to more of “America's Top Doctors” in the 2011 Castle Connolly survey than any other U.S. hospital. But our goal is to be the top hospital worldwide, with you as a top professional.
