Stony Brook University Hospital named one of 2022’s America’s 100 Best Hospitals in the country for clinical excellence by Healthgrades, the leading health resource for consumers.

Stony Brook University Hospital (SBUH) continues to be a national leader for patient care, again receiving the Healthgrades 2022 America’s 100 Best Hospitals Award™. This places Stony Brook University Hospital among the top two percent of all hospitals for clinical care and patient outcomes across treatment of the most common conditions and procedures. This is the 4th consecutive year Stony Brook University Hospital is among America’s Best. Only four hospitals in New York State were named among America’s 100 Best Hospitals this year. 

“I’m delighted that Stony Brook University Hospital is being recognized as among the nation’s best for the fourth year in a row,” said Hal Paz, MD, Executive Vice President, Health Sciences, Stony Brook University. “Our health system continues to be a national leader in patient care, and this recognition stands as testament to the hard work and dedication of the outstanding teams here at Stony Brook. I’m proud of my colleagues and all of our staff and faculty who work tirelessly to ensure quality patient care every day.”

“Exceptional outcomes are only possible when a hospital commits to high standards of quality and continuous improvement throughout the organization,” said Carol A. Gomes, MS, FACHE, CPHQ, Chief Executive Officer for Stony Brook University Hospital. “This award demonstrates Stony Brook University Hospital’s commitment to providing quality care to our patients and their family members. We are grateful to our physicians, nurses and all of our care teams for their hard work, dedication and commitment to excellence.”

As an America’s 100 Best Hospitals award recipient, Stony Brook strives to make a positive impact on the lives of those on Long Island. Over the past year, Stony Brook University Hospital delivered lifesaving treatments and advanced care options to benefit patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, while at the same time providing high-quality, safe patient care.

“We are proud to recognize Stony Brook University Hospital as one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for 2022,” said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Data Science at Healthgrades. “As an America’s 100 Best Hospital, Stony Brook University Hospital’s clinical performance and patient outcomes outpaced nearly all other hospitals in the country.  We believe these distinguished hospitals are leading the industry and setting the standard for providing safe and quality care.”
