Morristown Medical Center ranked No. 1 in state by Newsweek/Statista

Morristown Medical Center was ranked No. 1 in the America’s Best In-State Hospitals for 2025, released earlier this week by Newsweek.

Newsweek compiled the list in partnership with Statista, using hospital quality metrics sourced from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the AHA Annual Survey of Hospitals Database, patient experience surveys, and a voluntary survey on Patient-Reported Outcome Measures.

In addition to quality metrics and patient satisfaction, this year’s ranking introduces new features that include a greater emphasis on healthcare equity and accreditation data from The Joint Commission and the American College of Surgeons.

Organizers say the changes ensure the rankings reflect the most current data and healthcare trends.

“This year’s rankings celebrate the outstanding hospitals that are setting new standards for patient care and innovation,” Newsweek’s Josh Smith said. “We’re proud to highlight the facilities making a meaningful impact in their communities by consistently delivering exceptional health care.”
