Mount Sinai South Nassau Ranked Best Regional Hospital for Third Consecutive Year by U.S. News & World Report®

Oceanside hospital also earned ‘High Performing’ rating in ten specialties

For the third consecutive year, Mount Sinai South Nassau is ranked among the “Best Regional Hospitals” in the metro area in the 2023-24 U.S. News & World Report® “Best Hospitals” list. The hospital also earned ten “High Performing” badges for specific procedures and services.

In this year’s report, Mount Sinai South Nassau is rated “High Performing” in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, heart attack, heart failure, hip fracture, kidney failure, pneumonia, and stroke, as well as for the specialty of urology. To be ranked in “Best Hospitals” for the New York metro area, Mount Sinai South Nassau had to achieve a top rating in at least six types of care—a feat achieved by less than 10 percent of U.S. hospitals.

The U.S. News “Best Hospitals” ranking is independently conducted by the magazine’s editorial staff and is among the most recognized hospital scorecards in the nation. Mount Sinai South Nassau was also awarded a High Performing rating in the 2022-23 U.S. News &World Report® “Best Hospitals for Maternity Care,” which was released in December.

“The U.S. News ranking underscores our tradition of excellence in the delivery of high-quality health care services and confirms our staff’s commitment to putting the needs of our patients and the communities we serve first,” said Adhi Sharma, MD, Mount Sinai South Nassau’s President. “The best evidence of excellence, though, is the continued trust our patients put in us every day.”

“We are extraordinarily proud of the work of our team and their commitment to bringing first-class care to the South Shore,” said Anthony Cancellieri, Co-Chairman of the Mount Sinai South Nassau Board of Directors.

Now in its 34th year, the U.S. News “Best Hospitals” rankings help guide patients who need an elevated level of care because they face particularly difficult surgery, a challenging condition, or added risk because of other health problems or age. To produce the rankings, U.S. News evaluates data on approximately 5,000 hospitals in 15 areas of complex specialty care, nine adult procedures and conditions, and 10 pediatric specialties. To be nationally ranked in a specialty, a hospital must excel in caring for the sickest, most medically complex patients.
