Saratoga Hospital has been named to Newsweek’s World’s Best Hospitals 2026 list, a global ranking that recognizes hospitals for clinical care, patient experience and quality outcomes.
Among thousands of hospitals evaluated worldwide, Saratoga Hospital ranked among the top hospitals in the United States. It is one of 18 hospitals in New York state to make the list and the only hospital in the Capital Region to be included.
“This recognition reflects our extraordinary commitment of our entire team to delivering high-quality, compassionate care every day,” said Saratoga Hospital President and CEO Jill VanKuren. “To be recognized on a global stage, and as the only hospital in our region, is a testament to the culture we’ve built and the trust our community places in us.”
Newsweek said it evaluates hospitals using surveys of medical experts, patient experience data, hospital quality metrics and patient-reported outcomes. More than 2,500 hospitals across 32 countries were assessed.
“This honor highlights what our patients already know, that they can access nationally recognized, high-quality care close to home,” said Chief Medical Officer Robert Donnarumma, MD. “It speaks to the strength of our clinical teams and our ongoing focus on safety and the patient experience.”
Saratoga Hospital is the only acute care facility in Saratoga County and has maintained Magnet designation for nursing excellence since 2004. The hospital is a member of the Albany Med Health System.
