Maternity Care and Heart Attack Care Receive Top Ratings from U.S. News & World Report

U.S. News & World Report, a leading national authority on hospital rankings and consumer advice, named Mercy Hospital a “High Performing Hospital” for Maternity Care and Heart Attack Care, 2022-23.

Of the 300 hospitals nationwide that received the high performing designation for maternity care, only nine are from New York State, with both Mercy and Sisters of Charity being the only two hospitals in Western New York to receive this distinction as a “Best Hospital for Maternity Care.”

“When expectant parents are deciding where to deliver their baby, the Best Hospitals for Maternity Care listing can help them make more informed decisions about where to receive their maternity care,” said Dr. Lynn Aronica, Chair of Mercy’s OB/GYN Department. “We’re extremely proud of our Mother-Baby team for earning this distinguished achievement.”

During Mercy’s U.S. News Heart Attack Care award celebration, Henry Meltser, MD, Medical Director of the Cardiovascular Catheterization Laboratory said, “These national quality rankings are a testament to our Heart Center team’s extraordinary commitment to providing the highest level of patient care and safety.”

U.S. News & World Report evaluates more than 4,500 medical centers across the country in 25 specialties, procedures, and conditions. The Best Hospitals rankings are based on criteria such as patient survival and safety data, the number of times a given procedure is performed, infection rates, readmission rates, and other quality measures.
