NYU Langone Health tops the list of the nation’s best academic medical centers

NYU Langone Health has once again been named the nation’s best comprehensive academic medical center by healthcare performance improvement company Vizient.

The rankings, released Wednesday, measure annual performance in six key areas: safety, mortality, effectiveness, efficiency, patient-centeredness and equity.

NYU Langone has topped this list for the third year in a row.

“Recognitions like this further validate the quality that NYU Langone consistently delivers to everyone in our care,” said Dr. Robert I. Grossman, CEO of NYU Langone Health and dean of the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, told The Post in a statement.

“This ranking reflects our team’s commitment to excellence and taking advantage of every opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the patients and families we serve,” he added.

Vizient also ranked NYU Langone’s outpatient network, its Brooklyn and Long Island hospitals, and NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital among the best in the country.

NewYork-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center was honored with the Rising Star Award, which is given to academic medical centers that have made “significant improvement” in the quality of care.

Stony Brook University Hospital on Long Island won the Vizient Environmental Sustainability Excellence Award for its “contributions to human health and the environment through responsible purchasing decisions.”

The ratings come two months after U.S. News & World Report named NYU Langone Hospitals, Mount Sinai Hospital, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell, and North Shore University Hospital at Northwell Health in Manhasset to its Best Hospitals honor list for 2024-2025.
