The Valley Hospital Recognized by Newsweek on America’s Best-In-State Hospitals 2024 List

RIDGEWOOD, NJ, October 25, 2023 – The Valley Hospital is proud to announce that it has been recognized by Newsweek on the list of America’s Best-In-State Hospitals 2024. This prestigious award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc.

The America’s Best-In-State Hospitals 2024 ranking was created to identify the top hospitals at the state level. Hospitals from all US states were eligible for ranking. The 25 states with the most hospitals according to the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) were surveyed individually. The remaining states were grouped into 4 regions: Northeast, Midwest, West, and South. Leading hospitals from these states were considered accordingly. Four data sources were used for the evaluation:

Nationwide online survey: Over 10,000 medical professionals (doctors, hospital managers and healthcare workers) were asked to recommend the best hospitals (in and out of state) based on their expertise.

Quality Metrics Data: Data from Medicare and Medicare Services available for Mortality, Safety, Readmission, Experience, Timely & Effective Care was considered.

Patient Experience: Cleanliness of the hospitals and quietness, communication of the nurses/doctors and staff responsiveness, care transition, medicine communication, and discharge information.

PROMS Implementation survey: To account for the increasing importance of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs).

“We are honored to be considered among the best hospitals in the state,” said Audrey Meyers, President and CEO of Valley Health System. “Valley is committed to providing high-quality care and service to our patients and their families, and to ensuring that all patients have access to our services. This recognition is a testament to the exceptional work of our doctors, nurses, and staff in delivering an exceptional patient experience.”
