Mount Nittany Health is proud to announce that for the fifth year in a row Mount Nittany Medical Center has been named one of the World’s Best Hospitals by Newsweek. Created in 2019, the ‘World’s Best Hospitals’ series includes data on over 2,400 hospitals in 30 countries.
Mount Nittany Medical Center is one of 26 hospitals in Pennsylvania to rank in the top 420 hospitals nationwide.
“Being named to Newsweek’s World’s Best Hospitals list for the fifth consecutive year is a tremendous honor,” said Kathleen Rhine, President and CEO of Mount Nittany Health. “This recognition reflects the outstanding dedication of our entire team, who are committed to delivering exceptional care every day. Their passion for excellence and service reinforces Mount Nittany Health’s reputation as a trusted leader in healthcare.”
According to Newsweek, “Few decisions carry more weight than selecting a hospital for yourself or a loved one. This choice is often made while feeling unwell or after a stressful diagnosis, making it all the more difficult. That’s why ready information about where world-class medical care is available can make all the difference in ensuring the best possible outcomes.”
The ranking is based on an extensive evaluation process, including an online survey of thousands of medical experts (doctors, hospital managers and health care professionals), patient experience data, hospital quality metrics and a PROMs Implementation Survey. Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are defined as standardized, validated questionnaires completed by patients to measure their perception of their functional well-being and quality of life.
Since 1902, Mount Nittany Health has grown to be a health system with 2,600 employees, over 185 providers, 17 locations and 30+ medical specialties, serving more than 400,000 residents in six counties.
