FALL RIVER, NEW BEDFORD, and WAREHAM, Mass. – For the third consecutive year, Newsweek has named Charlton Memorial, St. Luke’s and Tobey to its list of the World’s Best Hospitals, Southcoast Health announced today.
Newsweek and global data research firm Statista Inc. considered hospitals from 25 countries across Asia, Europe, North America and Oceania to rank the top 2,000 on their 2021 World’s Best Hospitals list. Hospitals were evaluated based on quality scores drawing on key performance indicators from a variety of public sources, results from patient surveys and analysis from medical experts, according to Newsweek.
This year, just 334 hospitals from the United States earned a spot on the World’s Best list. Of this group, only 11 hospitals from Massachusetts and one from Rhode Island were recognized. Southcoast was one of three non-academic hospitals from Massachusetts to make the list. For more on the World’s Best Hospitals methodology, visit www.newsweek.com/best-hospitals-2021.
