Thursday, September 24, 2026

NEW YORK, NY — Newsweek has named Israel’s Hadassah Medical Organization a global leader in cardiology, oncology and cardiac surgery in the media company’s “World’s Best Specialized Hospitals 2027.” This is seventh consecutive year the medical center has earned a top spot for cardiology and the sixth consecutive year it has earned one for oncology.

The Newsweek rankings place the Hadassah Medical Organization in the company of such world-leading medical centers as the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Minn.), Johns Hopkins Hospital (Baltimore, Md.), The Royal Marsden Hospital (London, UK) and the Seoul National University Hospital (Seoul, South Korea).

Said Dr. Yoram Weiss, Director General, Hadassah Medical Organization, “We are honored to be ranked, once again, among the world’s best hospitals for oncology and cardiology and to see our expertise in cardiac surgery added to the group of specialties recognized by our peers.”

“Our physicians’ skill and dedication humbles us. We are so pleased to see them honored in this way,” said Carol Ann Schwartz, National President, Hadassah, The Women’s Zionist Organization of America, which founded and owns the Israeli medical center.

The 2027 rankings, produced in partnership with the global data firm Statista, are the result of Newsweek’s annual review of more than 350 hospitals worldwide, which reflects the recommendations of tens of thousands of medical professionals vetted by an international committee of specialists.
