LONG ISLAND, NY — Ten Long Island hospitals have been ranked among the best in the state, with a Manhasset hospital in third spot, according to a Newsweek report.

These rankings can help people vet hospitals when making important choices about their health care, Newsweek said.

Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park is ranked in the 5th spot, and second out of the Long Island hospitals.
