2 CT Health Care Facilities Among ‘Great Hospitals In America’

CONNECTICUT — Two hospitals in Connecticut are among 100 of the best in the country, according to a new national report.

The “Great Hospitals in America” list from the Chicago-based niche media company Becker’s Healthcare, includes many of the same hospitals as rankings of U.S. News & World Report, Healthgrades, The Leapfrog Group and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

“These hospitals are widely recognized for their clinical excellence, commitment to patient safety, innovative initiatives, research efforts, education and high levels of patient satisfaction,” the company said.

Becker’s said the list of 100 hospitals is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement of the included hospitals. Hospitals submitted nominations and Becker’s editorial team conducted research.

From Connecticut, health care facilities that made the list are:

• Hartford Hospital: One of the region's largest teaching hospitals, this care center is a leading hospital for treatments in several specialties, according to Becker's.
• Yale-New Haven Hospital: This hospital has achieved significant medical firsts, including the first use of chemotherapy and the first kidney transplant in Connecticut.
