Hackensack University Medical Center was once again named one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals for 2010 in a report issued by HealthGrades, the leading independent healthcare ratings organization. HUMC is one of only 27 hospitals nationally named to the list four years in a row, and the only facility in New Jersey, New York and New England to accomplish this. The report, which analyzes objective patient outcomes
at all 5,000 of the nation’s nonfederal hospitals, places HUMC in the top one percent of all hospitals in the nation for clinical quality.
According to the report, “America’s 50 Best Hospitals have demonstrated clinical outcomes that are the best in the nation, and they have sustained that level of quality year in and year out. The consistency of these results indicates that these hospitals have leadership, operational structures and clinical teams that are capable of producing excellence in a way that others cannot.
HUMC's Mobile Rapid Response Program (MRRP)consists of two Mobile Acute Care Hospitals and four support vehicles. To see the prototypes in action, view our video here.
