ABOUT NEWYORK-PRESBYTERIAN
Founded nearly 250 years ago, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital has a long legacy of medical breakthroughs and innovation, from the invention of the Pap test, to the first successful pediatric heart transplant, to pioneering the groundbreaking heart valve replacement procedure called TAVR.
Today, NewYork-Presbyterian is one of the nation’s most comprehensive, integrated academic healthcare systems, encompassing 10 hospital campuses across the Greater New York area, more than 200 primary and specialty care clinics and medical groups, and an array of telemedicine services.
A leader in medical education, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital is the only academic medical center in the nation affiliated with two world-class medical schools, Weill Cornell Medicine and Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. This collaboration means patients have access to the country’s leading physicians, the full range of medical specialties, the latest innovations in care, and research that is developing cures and saving lives.
Ranked the #5 hospital in the nation and #1 in New York in U.S. News & World Report’s 2019-2020 “Best Hospitals” survey, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital has been the top-ranked hospital in New York for 19 consecutive years. The Hospital ranks in the top five nationwide in six specialties: cardiology and heart surgery (No. 4), gynecology (No. 4), nephrology (No. 5), neurology/neurosurgery (No. 4), psychiatry (No. 4), and rheumatology (No. 3), a collaborative program with the Hospital for Special Surgery. NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital ranks in the top 10 in 10 specialties this year, and in the top 50 in 15 of the 16 specialties evaluated.
A total of 267 physicians from NewYork-Presbyterian—more than any other hospital in the tristate area—have been recognized as among the best doctors in the New York metropolitan region in New York Magazine’s 2019 “Best Doctors” issue.
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital is one of only 21 U.S. hospitals to be named to U.S. News’ 2019-2020 “Best Hospitals Honor Roll,” a distinction recognizing hospitals that deliver the highest quality of care across a range of specialties, procedures, and conditions.
