HARTFORD, CT — A local hospital has, again, achieved a key ranking on a prominent news magazine's top hospitals of 2024.

Saint Francis Hospital was recently named to Newsweek’s list of World’s Best Hospitals 2024, earning a spot on the list for the sixth consecutive year.

Newsweek and Statista Inc., a statistics portal and industry ranking provider, present the award.

Saint Francis is included on the list of 412 hospitals in the United States and also earned the Infection Prevention Award.

It is one of just five Connecticut hospitals named on the list, with Saint Francis coming in at 170 of 432 on the list.

Other Connecticut hospitals on the list are Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven (32); Griffin Hospital in Derby (233); John Dempsey Hospital in Farmington (356); and Hartford Hospital in Hartford (398).

“We are extremely proud to be honored by Newsweek for the sixth straight year and be recognized for the care that is provided to our patients and their families every day,” said Dan Moen, acting president, Saint Francis Hospital. “Being named a World’s Best Hospital is possible because of the dedication and hard work of our physicians, nurses, clinical, and non-clinical colleagues."

health care professionals, and hospital managers in 30 countries.
