Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New Hyde Park was named one of the best children’s hospitals in the state for the 17th year in a row.
The hospital ranked second on U.S. News & World Report’s list of best hospitals for children in New York, only behind New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell.
Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital in Manhattan, part of the NYU Langone network, earned the top spot in New York for pediatric cardiology and heart surgery care while being named the fifth-best children’s hospital in the state. Hassenfeld Children’s also earned a top-15 national ranking for pediatric cardiology and heart surgery.
“Once again, Cohen Children’s Medical Center has achieved high rankings for the groundbreaking work being done by our team members in a variety of specialties,” Northwell Health President and CEO Michael Dowling said in a statement. “We understand how stressful a hospital stay can be – not only for our young patients but for their families. For this reason, every member of this hospital’s staff works together to provide a comforting and healing environment for the children and the people who love them.”
Cohen Children’s also earned top-50 national rankings for nephrology, cancer, pediatric pulmonology, pediatric urology, neurology, neonatology, pediatric diabetes and gastroenterology, according to the news outlet. The hospital also tied for seventh best children’s hospital in the mid-Atlantic region, which includes Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.
Honors and accolades, specifically from U.S. News & World Report, were named in a recent suit filed by Langone against Northwell in June.
Langone, which has a hospital in Mineola, alleges Northwell, intentionally copied their “unique” color and font in multiple forms of advertising–including billboards and digital ads–to exploit their reputation.
The lawsuit, filed in New York’s Southern District Court, accuses Northwell of engaging in “deceptive trade practices.”
Langone cited its placement in U.S. News & World Report’s 2022-2023 “Best Hospitals Honor Roll,” the top spot in New York and No.3 in the nation, as evidence of goodwill and reputation that Northwell has not achieved.
