Morristown Medical Center and Chilton Medical Center took the top spots in the annual hospital rankings by Jersey’s Best.
The rankings, produced by health care research and information company Castle Connolly, rank hospitals in two sizes: 350 beds or greater, and fewer than 350 beds.
Morristown took the top spot in the 350+ category for the sixth time in the past seven years. Chilton, in Pompton Plains, earned the top spot in the up to 350 category for the ninth consecutive year.
Scott Leighty, the chief health system officer at Atlantic Health System, was thrilled by the recognition.
“Atlantic Health System’s commitment to treating every patient with the highest quality of care is consistent across the many sites of care in our system,” he said.
“Every one of our physicians, nurses and care givers continues to set the standard for excellence, and I offer them my sincerest thanks and appreciation for all they do for our patients, their families and communities.”
