The Mount Sinai Hospital Ranked Among Top in the Nation by U.S. News & World Report®; Department of Geriatrics Claims No. 1 Spot in Specialty Rankings
17 Julio 2024 - 8:38AM
The Mount Sinai Hospital, the flagship hospital of Mount Sinai
Health System, was listed among the nation’s top hospitals for care
excellence by U.S. News & World Report®, marking the ninth
straight year the hospital has been listed among the top 20 in the
country on the publication’s “Honor Roll.”
In this year’s report, The Mount Sinai
Hospital held top-20 rankings in eight specialties and top-10 in
four. It was also rated “High Performing” in 19 out of 20
procedures and conditions.
“These rankings are a testament to the
extraordinary dedication to science, innovation, and the high
quality and patient centered care that defines The Mount Sinai
Hospital. I could not be prouder of our compassionate team of
physicians, nurses, and staff who tirelessly and proudly serve our
community. It is a pleasure to join the nation in recognizing them
for their hard work and extraordinary accomplishment,” said Brendan
G. Carr, MD, MA, MS, Chief Executive Officer, and Professor, Mount
Sinai Health System.
“This outstanding recognition is
thanks to our extraordinary and passionate team of clinicians and
caregivers who work tirelessly to provide every patient and family
the best, most advanced care delivered with compassion, dignity,
and respect regardless of background or ability to pay,”
said David L. Reich, MD, President of The Mount Sinai
Hospital and Mount Sinai Queens, and the Horace W. Goldsmith
Professor of Anesthesiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at
Mount Sinai. “I am deeply proud and honored to lead and work with
this team who place every patient at the center of everything we
do.”
The Mount Sinai Hospital specialties
ranked among the top 20 nationally this year were:
-
Cardiology and Heart Surgery (No. 4)
-
Gastroenterology and GI Surgery (No. 8)

than last year, and rated as “High Performing” in three other
specialties and 12 procedures and conditions. Mount Sinai Beth
Israel was nationally ranked in one specialty and rated as “High
Performing” in three specialties and nine procedures and
conditions. These hospitals were also all ranked regionally. Mount
Sinai South Nassau was rated as “High Performing” in six procedures
and conditions. The magazine defines “High Performing” in this
context as “the highest possible rating, earned by only a small
minority of hospitals.”

For the second year in a
row, U.S. News did not include numerical rankings for the
20 hospitals on the 2024-25 Honor Roll, taking the view—with which
Mount Sinai has long agreed—that numerical rankings make
distinctions without a difference.
U.S. News & World
Report evaluates more than 4,500 medical centers nationwide in
15 specialties and 21 procedures and conditions. The Best Hospitals
rankings help guide patients who need a high level of care or who
have a challenging condition or extra risk because of age or
multiple health problems. Criteria such as patient survival and
safety data, adequacy of nurse staffing levels, and other measures
largely determine the rankings in most specialties. The rankings
are produced by U.S. News with RTI International, a
leading research organization based in Research Triangle Park,
North Carolina.
