(Philadelphia,
PA) - For the sixth consecutive year, the Hospital
of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) has been
listed in the "Honor Roll" of hospitals by
U.S. News & World Report in its July 22nd
issue. The publication's annual ranking of hospitals
in America lists HUP as one of only 17 hospitals in
the nation - and the only one in the Delaware Valley
region - to be recognized as an "Honor Roll"
hospital for its exceptional performance in many specialty
areas.
In total, HUP's expertise was noted in 14 of 17 medical
specialties: Cancer; Digestive Disorders; Ear, Nose
& Throat; Eyes; Geriatrics; Gynecology; Heart &
Heart Surgery; Hormonal Disorders; Kidney Disease; Neurology
& Neurosurgery; Psychiatry; Rheumatology; Respiratory
Disorders; and Urology. No other Philadelphia-area hospital
was cited for merit in as many specialties.
"HUP's consistent presence on the Honor Roll is
a reflection of our commitment to excellence in patient
care and a tribute to the dedication of our faculty
and staff," noted Garry Scheib, Senior Vice
President of Hospital Operations for the University
of Pennsylvania Health System and Executive Director
of HUP. "Groundbreaking research by Penn physician-scientists
translates directly into advanced medical care in the
Delaware Valley. Cancer, neuroscience, and genetics
are just a few areas in which Penn has brought the future
of medicine closer."
This year's rankings represent the thirteenth consecutive
year that HUP has appeared in the U.S. News &
World Report's annual guide to "America's Best
Hospitals." The complete guide appears in the July
22 edition, which will appear on newsstands on July
15. Rankings are also available online at www.usnews.com.
