PMC tied for the No. 6 ranking in New Jersey. In addition, PMC was rated high performing in the specialty of orthopaedics, as well as seven procedures and conditions: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart failure, hip fracture, hip replacement, kidney failure, knee replacement, and stroke.
“At PMC and across Penn Medicine Princeton Health, we have fostered a culture of pursuing excellence and achieving higher standards,” says James Demetriades, CEO, Penn Medicine Princeton Health. “These results are a tribute to every employee and physician whose work supports patient care at the hospital.”
The 2022-23 rankings mark the seventh time PMC earned recognition as a Best Regional Hospital.
The ratings are based largely on data related to clinical outcomes and patient safety, patient satisfaction surveys, and indicators such as whether a hospital holds Magnet® status, the highest institutional recognition for nursing excellence. PMC, part of the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS), is one of 591 hospitals worldwide to hold Magnet recognition.
This is the first time U.S. News rated PMC high performing in stroke care. PMC is designated a primary stroke center by The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA). The hospital also earned the Get With The Guidelines®–Stroke Gold Plus Quality Recognition Award from AHA/ASA four years in a row.
