Five New Jersey-based hospitals have been named among the World’s Best Hospitals by Newsweek.
Newsweek said it partnered with global data research company Statista Inc. to rank The Worlds Best Hospitals 2020 in 21 countries based on responses to an online survey sent to nearly 70,000 doctors, hospital administrators and health care professionals.

A total of 1,500 hospitals globally made the cut.
