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 straight year the medical center has earned a top spot for cardiology and the sixth consecutive year it has earned one for oncology.

Newsweek also acknowledged the medical center’s expertise in the news organization’s “World’s Best Smart Hospitals 2027,” citing the center’s use of advanced technologies, like AI, automation, robotics and the digital medical portfolio Hadassah launched this year, to continuously improve the quality of patient care and to streamline work processes.

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, “We are delighted and proud that Newsweek has once again recognized the Hadassah Medical Organization’s leadership in oncology, cardiology and the use of smart technology, and added cardiac surgery to the areas in which our reputation has grown.”

“We are humbled by our physicians’ skill and dedication and 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.
