U.S. News & World Report Names Montefiore Nyack Hospital a High Performing Hospital for COPD

Montefiore Nyack Hospital has been recognized as a High Performing Hospital for 2019-20 by U.S. News & World Report. The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings, now in their 5th year, are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive care for common conditions and elective procedures. These ratings extend the U.S. News mission of providing consumers with patient decision support beyond the Best Hospitals rankings, which are geared toward complex specialty care. Montefiore Nyack Hospital earned a “High Performing” rating for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), in recognition of care that was significantly better than the national average, as measured by factors such as patient outcomes.

“'High Performing' is the highest rating U.S. News awards for that type of care. Recognition as a High Performing Hospital for COPD is the result of the outstanding efforts of our dedicated team of specialists, nurses and support staff at Montefiore Nyack Hospital,” said Mark Geller, MD, President and CEO. “This nationally recognized designation highlights the fact that patients can be confident they will receive the highest quality care from their local hospital which also provides the individualized care they expect and deserve.”

For the 2019-20 ratings, U.S. News evaluated more than 4,500 medical centers nationwide in nine procedures and conditions. Less than a third of all hospitals received any high-performing rating, and only 57 earned this rating in all nine Procedures & Conditions. The state and metro area rankings recognize hospitals that received high performing ratings across multiple areas of care.
