U.S. News & World Report has named two Erie hospitals among
the best regional hospitals in the country.
Saint Vincent Health Center and UPMC Hamot are two of the 247
hospitals located outside major metropolitan areas that are
capable of providing first-rate care, even to patients with
serious conditions or who need demanding procedures, said Avery
Comarow, U.S. News & World Report's health rankings editor.
Hamot and Saint Vincent were among almost 5,000 hospitals
evaluated.
Hamot was considered “high performing” in nine of 16
specialties: cardiology and heart surgery; ear, nose and
throat; gastroenterology; geriatrics; nephrology; neurology and
neurosurgery; orthopedics; pulmonology and urology.
Saint Vincent was considered “high performing” in four of the
specialties: ear, nose and throat; gastroenterology; geriatrics
and pulmonology.
