Five New Jersey hospitals are among the best in the world, according to a new analysis by Newsweek.

The magazine’s “World’s Best Hospitals 2019” list was created in partnership with Statista, a global market research and consumer data company. According to Newsweek, 1,000 hospitals from around the world were selected for the list “based on recommendations from medical professionals, patient survey results and medical performance indicators.”

More than 200 U.S. hospitals made Newsweek’s 2019 list.

The New Jersey hospitals on the list are:

• Morristown Medical Center, Morristown (Ranked 28th in US)

• Overlook Medical Center, Summit (Ranked 98th in US)
• Valley Hospital, Ridgewood (Ranked 104th in US)

Among the top 10 hospitals in the world, four were in the United States.

• Mayo Clinic-Rochester; Rochester, Minnesota (1)
• Cleveland Clinic; Cleveland, Ohio (2)
• The Johns Hopkins Hospitals; Baltimore, Maryland (4)
• Massachusetts General Hospital; Boston, Massachusetts (6)

In addition to the global rankings, which ranked the top 10 hospitals in the world and listed 90 other hospitals in alphabetical order, Newsweek also ranked the best hospitals by country.
