Long Island Hospitals ranked among Healthgrades’ best | Long Island Business News

Hospitals on Long Island have been named among Healthgrades’ best hospitals in the nation, ranking within the top 5 percent for clinical care.

Stony Brook Medicine and NYU Langone—Long Island were among those named one of Healthgrades’ America’s 50 Best Hospitals. Mather Hospital, part of the Northwell Health system, was ranked among the top 250.

A platform for finding doctors and healthcare information, Healthgrades aims to help millions of consumers each month locate and schedule appointments and access treatment-focused content. Its 2026 hospital ranking list was released earlier this week.

“This honor speaks to the shared focus across Stony Brook Medicine on providing exceptional care for each and every patient,” Dr.  William Wertheim, executive vice president of Stony Brook Medicine, which earned this recognition for the fourth consecutive year, said in a written statement. “Receiving this achievement for the fourth year in a row reflects the daily collaboration of our teams in maintaining an exemplary standard of care throughout the organization.”

To determine America’s 50 Best Hospitals for 2026, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for more than 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide.

“This year’s America’s Best Hospitals list gives patients a clearer picture of where high-quality care is delivered most consistently,” Dr. Alana Biggers, medical advisor at Healthgrades, said in a written statement.

Dr. Ilseung Cho, chief quality officer for NYU Langone Health, highlighted the health system’s approach to providing care.

“NYU Langone Health has consistently provided our patients with one high standard of care across all of our locations, delivering the best outcomes in a system with the lowest mortality rate in the country among comprehensive academic medical centers,” Cho said in a written statement. “This recognition is another validation of the fantastic work performed by our exceptional teams, who have developed trust and confidence in so many communities that have selected NYU Langone as their trusted healthcare provider.”

Mather President Kevin McGeachy described the hospital’s patient care, safety and clinical quality following the recognition.

“This recognition is not just an award; it’s a testament to the fact that Mather consistently delivers top-tier patient care, safety, and clinical excellence across the board,” Mather President Kevin McGeachy said in a written statement. “Four years of consecutive recognition is only possible due to our exceptionally dedicated staff who continuously provides compassionate, high-quality care.”
