The latest U.S. hospital rankings are out, recognizing several facilities on Long Island. Both U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service, or CMS, and U.S. News and World Report have released their rankings. The lists are among those designed to help consumers compare health systems to determine the best healthcare decisions for their families.
In the federal rating, five Long Island hospitals scored as top performers, earning five stars from CMS. These hospitals include Northwell Health’s North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson and Huntington Hospital. Also earning top scores were NYU Langone Health’s hospitals, including its Mineola location, as well as Catholic Health’s St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center in Roslyn.
Northwell Health analyzes the results of each hospital’s CMS report each year, internalizes them, course corrects where needed and strives to reach higher, Michael Dowling, Northwell’s president and CEO, said in a statement. I’m proud to say this was our best showing yet as a health system. Three CMS five-star hospitals on Long Island alone proves our commitment to quality care and excellent outcomes, from the environmental service workers and cooks to our nurses and clinicians.
We are grateful for this recognition, which is testament to the unwavering dedication of our entire staff to providing one consistently high standard of care across all NYU Langone hospitals, which have maintained 5-star ratings for the past four years, Steve Ritea, an NYU Langone spokesperson, said in a statement to LIBN.
