“We are extremely pleased to be recognized as the leading hospital in New York and among the best in the nation for the 16th consecutive year,” said Dr. Steven J.

Patients are — and will always be — our number one priority. We pride ourselves on offering the most advanced treatment options and technology, powered by leading clinical research by our world-renowned physicians and experts. We could not have achieved this honor without our dedicated staff who continues to accomplish amazing feats in healthcare.”

“Columbia University Medical Center is proud of its long and historic partnership with NewYork-Presbyterian. We have always known that patient care delivered by our faculty, ColumbiaDoctors, is unsurpassed, and this external acknowledgement of the hospital’s value to the communities it serves, to New York City and to the nation makes all of us feel proud of the work we do every day,” said Dr. Lee Goldman, dean of the Faculties of Health Sciences and Medicine and chief executive of Columbia University Medical Center. “We join in congratulating NewYork-Presbyterian on this year’s ranking, which is a testimony not only to the wonderful hospital services but also to our faculty who provide superb patient care, conduct research that moves medical care forward and supervise the outstanding trainees who epitomize the best characteristics of an academic medical center.”

“We enthusiastically congratulate our partner NewYork-Presbyterian on this wonderful recognition,” said Dr. Augustine M.K. Choi, interim dean of Weill Cornell Medicine. “Our esteemed physicians and scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center always put patients first, providing them with the finest, most comprehensive care so that they can live their healthiest lives. Together we create one of the top academic medical centers in the United States, motivated by a shared commitment: to drive excellence in healthcare and truly make a difference in New York and beyond.”
