NYU Langone Health tops the Vizient academic medical center rankings

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,” Dr. Robert I. Grossman, CEO of NYU Langone Health and dean of the NYU Grossman School of Medicine.

“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.”

“At Stony Brook University Hospital, we recognize that the decisions made at our hospital can play a major role in the human and environmental health of our community,” hospital CEO Carol Gomes told The Post. “Our team makes it a priority to implement sustainable practices and select environmentally conscious materials to provide essential high-quality care to our patients. We thank Vizient for recognizing our hospital’s commitment to environmental excellence in health care.”

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 top hospital honor list for 2024-2025.
