of Thomas Jefferson University, was ranked as third in the nation and
the top medical center in Philadelphia for ophthalmology.
Jefferson Hospitals’ President and CEO Thomas J. Lewis said Jefferson and its staff are again honored to be among a select
number of medical centers of excellence in the nation.
“Being recognized in this way by U.S. News & World Report reflects the extraordinary efforts of all the talented doctors, nurses, and staff, who are dedicated to providing exceptional
patient care here at Jefferson everyday,” said Mr. Lewis.
Redefining
how health care is delivered is at the core of Thomas Jefferson
University Hospitals’ commitment to its patients, its community and the
nation. Since being established in 1825, this academic medical center
has provided nationally recognized care intended to improve the health
of all the communities it serves. Jefferson accomplishes its mission in
partnership with Thomas Jefferson University and as a member of the
