We hear many times that some hospitals are “top ranked.” So, I checked the healthcare rating list of Newsweek and US News.
As per Newsweek, “To help, Newsweek has partnered with Statista for its annual ranking of the world’s best hospitals, a series that began in March 2019. This year, the list includes data on 2,400 hospitals across 30 countries. For the first time, Chile and Malaysia have been added to the ranking, which also includes the U.S., most of Western Europe and Scandinavia, 10 Asian countries, Australia and countries elsewhere in the world.”
45 hospitals from the US are in the world’s best 250 hospitals. However, not a single hospital from New Jersey made it in the first 250 best hospitals in the world for 2024. In 2023, 7 Hospitals from New Jersey made the top 415 best hospitals in the United States. Only one hospital, Newark Beth Israel from our “Local Talk area,” made it to number 201 among the best hospitals in the U.S.
ACCORDING TO NEWSWEEK’s RATINGS:
The world’s best hospital has been one in the United States for many years. That is the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Congratulations to Mayo Clinic for being the best hospital in the world. As I have heard from other doctors, many want to give services to the Mayo Clinic, but are denied by them.

Rutgers University Hospital is not ranked in any top list or listed any place, and CareWell – the former East Orange General Hospital – has had its issues over the years.
However, when it comes to money and grants, all of the hospitals are requesting big money, like University Hospital in Newark asked for $1.8 billion, which is a work in progress according to the news.
