Medical Center named a ‘World’s Best Hospital’ by Newsweek
Apr 23, 2021
With a focus on delivering compassionate care of the highest quality and safety for every patient, every time, Mount Nittany Health is proud to be nationally recognized with top honors in clinical care, patient safety and overall performance across the health system.
Most recently, Mount Nittany Medical Center was named as one of 350 US hospitals and one of just 15 Pennsylvania hospitals honored as a ‘World’s Best Hospital 2021’ by Newsweek Magazine.
“The 2,000 hospitals named in this list–which covers 25 countries, including United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Canada –stand out for their consistent excellence, including distinguished physicians, top-notch nursing care and state-of-the-art technology,” said Newsweek Global Editor-in-Chief, Nancy Cooper.
Work on a major expansion of Mount Nittany Medical Center’s women and children’s services unit has resumed after being put on pause last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Joseph V. and Suzanne P. Paterno Women and Children’s Unit, the largest of its kind in the region, has dedicated medical and nursing teams serving women’s healthcare and pediatric patients and welcomes more than 1,300 newborns every year.
“This space is a celebration of new life and enhanced care for our community’s women and children,” Sue Paterno said in a statement. “I’m proud to be part of one of the many reasons Mount Nittany Health continues to be the best.”
