Princeton Medical Center Named a Best Regional Hospital
Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center (PMC) was recognized as a Best Regional Hospital in central New Jersey in the 2022-23 Best Hospitals rankings published online today by U.S. News & World Report.
PMC tied for the No. 6 ranking in New Jersey and No. 24 in the New York metropolitan region. In addition, PMC was rated high performing in one specialty — orthopaedics — and seven procedures and conditions:
—COPD
—Heart failure
—Hip fracture
—Hip replacement
—Kidney failure
—Knee replacement
—Stroke
“At PMC and across Penn Medicine Princeton Health, we have fostered a culture of pursuing excellence and achieving higher standards,” said CEO James Demetriades. “These results are a tribute to every employee and physician whose work supports patient care at the hospital.”
The 2022-23 rankings mark the eighth year in a row that PMC was rated high performing in multiple types of care and the seventh time it 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.
