Hospital representatives feel this high ranking is reflective of their excellent care.

The hospital was ranked one of the best hospitals in the nation for cardiac care for the ninth year in a row and was also top rated in three other adult specialties –the only hospital to be nationally ranked on Long Island.

“To consistently receive this nationwide recognition in cardiology and heart surgery as well as non-cardiac specialties is a testament to our ongoing mission of providing excellence in patient care,” says Ruth Hennessey, EVP & Chief Administrative Officer of St. Francis Hospital, in a statement.

The rankings recognized St. Francis as high performing regionally in Neurology and Neurosurgery, Pulmonology, and Urology.

Less than 3 percent of the nearly 5,000 hospitals that were analyzed for Best Hospitals 2015-16 earned national ranking in one specialty.

“Congratulations to the physicians, nurses, and staff at St. Francis for attaining this outstanding achievement for nearly a decade,” Hennessey said.
