Leaders with New York City-based Hospital for Special Surgery reflected on its legacy after being named as the No. 1 hospital for orthopedics by U.S. News & World Report.
In 2023, HSS provided care to more than 211,000 patients and performed more than 41,000 orthopedic surgeries, according to a July 16 news release.
"This recognition reflects 161 years of specialization and the skill and dedication of thousands of HSS colleagues who provide or support care for our patients," Bryan Kelly, MD, HSS president and CEO, said in the news release. "HSS is a place that inspires and empowers extraordinary people to seek and solve challenges big and small to make HSS and our patients better every day."
The hospital was also ranked No. 3 in the nation for rheumatology.
"Accurate, prompt diagnosis of these often-challenging diseases remains the cornerstone of successful treatment," S. Louis Bridges Jr., MD, PhD, said in the release. "Many rheumatologists at HSS focus on specific rheumatic conditions, which leads to better patient outcomes. Our clinicians work closely with HSS researchers to enhance our understanding of rheumatic diseases and develop innovative treatment approaches to benefit patients worldwide."
