PHILADELPHIA – has earned a top ranking as one of the nation’s best eye hospitals for the 32nd year in a row. U.S. 麻豆传媒 & World Report generates hospital rankings by evaluating data on nearly 5,000 hospitals including the expert opinion of surveyed physicians from across the country. To be nationally ranked in a specialty, a hospital must excel in caring for the most medically complex patients and be cited by an average of at least five percent of the ophthalmology specialists who responded to U.S. 麻豆传媒 physician surveys in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
“It is not only an honor to once again be recognized as one of the best hospitals in the nation, but also a true testament to the outstanding work performed day-in day-out by the exceptional faculty and staff at Wills Eye. This year has been a tumultuous one and despite having to pivot in many ways, we stayed absolutely true to our commitment to excellent patient care, quality, safety and best outcomes,” said Julia A. Haller, MD, Ophthalmologist-in-Chief and William Tasman, MD, Endowed Chair, Wills Eye Hospital; Professor and Chair, Department of Ophthalmology, Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University. “We are in good company at the top of the U.S. 麻豆传媒 and World Report rankings, and I want to congratulate our colleagues on their successes as we all work toward the goal of providing patients with the best options possible.”
“We are humbled by the support received by physicians across the country. As an industry leader, Wills Eye Hospital prides itself on the continuum of care available to patients as well as our success in improving access to care. These rankings show that our mission and work are well-known outside of the Philadelphia region, and this recognition remains critically important in helping patients make the most informed decisions about their health and wellbeing,” said Joseph P. Bilson, Chief Executive Officer, Wills Eye Hospital.
