A Lown Institute report released Tuesday named the 50 most and 50 least racially inclusive hospitals in the U.S.
The report, which ranks acute care facilities based on whether the racial makeup of their patients matches that of the people living in the surrounding zip codes, revealed the structural racism present in healthcare, especially in urban hospitals.
One example of such racial inequity is right in New York City, said Vikas Saini, MD, president of the Lown Institute. Metropolitan Hospital Center in East Harlem, which topped the list of most racially inclusive hospitals, is just 1.5 miles from Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan s Upper East Side. Despite this proximity, three-fourths of Metropolitan s patients are people of color, while the proportion is only one-third at Lenox Hill.

A new Lown Institute ranking of U.S. hospitals’ racial inclusivity suggests that many of the country’s most segregated hospitals are in urban areas and that top and bottom performers are frequently located within the same city.
Further, Lown’s analysis placed more than twice as many “elite hospitals” named to U.S. News’ Honor Roll in the bottom third of the racial inclusivity ranking than it did in the upper third.
