North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset has been named one of the top 100 hospitals in America by Becker’s Hospital Review, a health-care industry publication.
In a description of the list, which appears in alphabetical order on the publication’s website, Becker’s Hospital Review’s editorial team wrote: “Each organization on this list has a strong foundation of high-quality care, stellar credentials and a focus on doing what is right for the patients in its community. They are home to many medical and scientific breakthroughs, provide best-in-class patient care and are stalwarts of their communities, serving as research hubs or local anchors of wellness.”
To compile the list, Becker’s evaluated each hospital’s strengths for patient care as well as its rankings by other publications, such as U.S. News and World Report.
North Shore Hospital, which is run by the North Shore-LIJ Health System, was rated the No. 9 hospital in New York by U.S. News and World Report in 2014, as well as No. 48 in neurology and neurosurgery. It received a “high-performing” rating in cancer, cardiology and heart surgery, diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology and GI surgery, geriatrics, gynecology, nephrology, orthopedics, pulmonology and urology.
Michael Dowling, president and chief executive officer of the North Shore-LIJ Health System, is on the advisory board of Becker’s Hospital Review.
“It’s satisfying to see that our commitment to innovation and promoting good health has been recognized by a prestigious organization such as Becker’s Hospital Review,” said Dr. Alessandro Bellucci, the hospital’s executive director. “At North Shore, we stress the importance of going above and beyond the boundaries of traditional patient care, using research and community outreach to ensure the well being of the thousands of patients we serve.”
