Thomas Jefferson University Hospital has again been ranked as the top hospital in Philadelphia for orthopaedics and rehabilitation medicine by U.S.News & World Report in their 2007 Best Hospitals survey.

Jefferson University Hospital was also listed as the 13th best hospital in the nation for orthopaedic surgery and the 12th best in the U.S. for rehabilitation medicine.

U.S.News & World Report this year also named Jefferson University Hospital as among the best in the nation in seven other specialties – digestive disorders; endocrinology; geriatrics; gynecology; kidney disease; respiratory disorders; and urology.

In addition, Wills Eye Hospital, which serves as the Department of Ophthalmology for Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University, was ranked as third in the nation and the top medical center in Philadelphia for ophthalmology.

Jefferson Hospital 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.

“We are constantly striving to provide the best care and treatment possible for patients and it’s clear from this survey that U.S.News & World Report concurs,” Mr. Lewis said.

Providing advanced medicine and superior care is at the core of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital’s 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 Jefferson Health System.

It is one of only a few hospitals in the United States that has a Level I Trauma Center and a federally designated regional spinal cord injury center, as well as a nationally designated clinical cancer center. Jefferson is resolved to set the standard for excellence in the delivery of patient care, patient safety and the quality of the healthcare experience, in providing exemplary clinical settings for educating healthcare professionals and in leading in the introduction of innovative methodologies for healthcare delivery and quality improvement.
