Newsweek just released its America’s Best-in-State Hospitals 2026 list—and 11 New Jersey hospitals made the cut. The annual ranking, developed with global data firm Statista, evaluated more than 6,000 hospitals nationwide on care quality, patient experience, and reputation among medical professionals. This year’s list expanded from 700 to 800 hospitals and added a new scoring pillar: Patient-Reported Outcome Measures, giving the ranking more depth than any previous edition.
Here are the New Jersey hospitals that made it.
