NEW YORK, NY— NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell, NYU Langone Hospitals and Mount Sinai Hospital tied for the top spot in New York City in the new 2026-2027 Best Hospitals rankings released Tuesday by U.S. News & World Report.

The annual report, now in its 37th year, is intended to help patients compare hospitals when they need anything from a common procedure, such as a knee replacement, to specialized treatment for a serious or complex illness.

This year, U.S. News also introduced metro specialty rankings for cancer; cardiology, heart and vascular surgery; orthopedics; and rehabilitation, giving patients another way to identify highly rated care closer to home.

• NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornellwas nationally ranked in 14 specialties and rated High Performing in 23 procedures and conditions.
• NYU Langone Hospitals was nationally ranked in 13 specialties and rated High Performing in 23 procedures and conditions.
• Mount Sinai Hospital was nationally ranked in 12 specialties and rated High Performing in 23 procedures and conditions.

Here are the other hospitals in New York City's five boroughs that made the metro rankings:

The changes were especially significant in cardiology, heart and vascular surgery, where patient outcomes now determine most of a hospital's score.
