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, told The Post in a statement.

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

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 Vizient’s 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 2024 Best Hospitals honor list. 2025.
