According to Penn State Health, they also earned national rankings in three specialties, including gastroenterology and GI surgery, orthopedics, and ear, nose, and throat.
Altogether, the report ranked the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center as #1 in the Harrisburg metro region and #6 in Pennsylvania.
In addition to Penn State Health, the Mechanicsburg-based Select Medical also received recognition for several of its inpatient rehabilitation hospitals across the country, including their joint venture at the Penn State Health Rehabilitation Hospital in Hummelstown, Pa.
“This year’s placement of eight hospitals across 15 locations marks our highest rankings yet which is a direct reflection of the expertise, compassion and dedication our hospital teams bring to patient care every day,” Tom Mullin, president of Select Medical said. “Year after year, our continued presence on this prestigious national list speaks to our deep and consistent focus on quality, safety, outcomes and delivering an exceptional patient experience that restores quality of life.”
