Reading Hospital has been included on Newsweek’s list of World’s Best Hospitals 2023. This prestigious recognition is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., a statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The list of best hospitals was announced on March 1, 2023.
“I am proud of my colleagues at Reading Hospital for earning this prestigious recognition,” said Charles F. Barbera, MD, Reading Hospital president and CEO. “This year, because of our team’s ongoing hard work and dedication, Reading Hospital has been named among the top 10 hospitals in the state by US News and World Report. Healthgrades has named us among America’s 50 best for the second year in a row, and now Newsweek has ranked us among the best in the world for 2023.”

- Patient Experience: surveys of patient satisfaction with hospitalization.
- Patient Reported Outcome Measures: surveys measuring patient satisfaction with hospitals.
- Hospital Quality Metrics: patient safety, hygiene measures, waiting times, and quality of treatment.
