South Nassau Named One Of Best Hospitals For Women

For the fifth straight year, Becker's Hospital Review has named South Nassau Communities Hospital to its list of "100 Hospitals with Great Women's Health Programs" in the United States.

The editorial team of Becker's Hospital Review based its selection of hospitals to the list on national rankings and awards received from several institutions, including U.S. News & World Report national and regional rankings for gynecology, CareChex rankings for women's health care, women's health Healthgrades awards, Women's Choice Award's Best Breast Centers list and Baby-Friendly designation from Baby-Friendly USA, the accrediting body for the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative in the U.S.
