New York-Presbyterian Hospital Ranked Among Nation’s Best
Connie Milstein is very involved with the well-known New York-Presbyterian Hospital, which was recently ranked the number one hospital in New York and the sixth-best hospital in the United States. This honor is not only due to the incredible work done by the hospital’s doctors and nurses, but also the work done behind the scenes to keep the hospital running. Connie Milstein, for example, is a hospital board member and trustee and serves on the Real Estate and Major Facilities Committee, the Join Conference Committee and the Quality and Performance Improvement Committee.
U.S. News Media & World Report evaluated almost 5,000 institutions to compile their 2011-2012 list of best hospitals. In addition to ranking high on the list, New York-Presbyterian made the U.S. News’ honor roll list for the 11th year in a row. The honor roll list highlights the hospitals that rank at or near the top in at least six specialties based on volume, reputation and other factors affecting patient care. The hospital ranks nationally for its excellent treatment in the areas of cancer; cardiology and heart surgery, diabetes and endocrinology; ear, notes and throat; gastroenterology; geriatrics; gynecology; nephrology; neurology and neurosurgery; ophthalmology; orthopedics; psychiatry; pulmonology; rheumatology; and urology.
In a statement, Dr. Herbert Pardes, New York-Presbyterian Hospital’s president and CEO, shared his excitement at being included on the list for eleven consecutive years. “We are pleased to once again be ranked among the nation’s best hospitals,” he said. “Patients at our hoptial are cared for by some of the world’s leading physicians and surgeons who are dedicated to offering the most advanced treatment options in a compassionate and caring environment.”
