White Plains Hospital, a healthcare facility located in Westchester, is garnering accolades across the globe, having been singled out as one of the ‘World’s Best Hospitals’ by Newsweek in 2024, third time in a row. It stands alone in Westchester boasting this prestigious title, making a mark amongst the select 2,400 hospitals considered across the world. The international list also features 15 hospitals operating within New York, with White Plains Hospital holding down a notable rank of 359 within the United States. Newsweek’s evaluations for this impressive roster of ‘World’s Best Hospitals’ are formulated from a comprehensive amalgamation of sources.
This includes an expansive online poll which surveyed a pool of upwards of 85,000 medical experts and a review of public data obtained from post-discharge patient surveys. These diversified sources ensure a thorough understanding of the services and healthcare provided by each healthcare institution. Furthermore, they consider key performance indicators such as the hospital’s hygiene standards, the ratio of patients to doctors, and data from a Statista survey on the implementation of Patient Reported Outcome Measures.
These measures consist of standardized questionnaires completed by patients, designed to gauge their healthcare journey and results. This triennial recognition of excellence from Newsweek cements White Plains Hospital’s commitment to gold-standard healthcare delivery. Michael Palumbo, the hospital’s Chief Medical Officer, expressed the team’s pride and honor at receiving the accolade for the third year, crediting it as a testament to the exceptional care they provide their community. Notably, the report also recognized White Plains Hospital’s trailblazing efforts in Infection Prevention and Patient Satisfaction, marking it as a global leader in both these aspects, a testament to its unwavering commitment to safety and patient experience.
