St. Peter’s Hospital has received the 2018 Women’s Choice Award as one of America’s Best Hospitals for Obstetrics and Heart Care for the fourth consecutive year, Cancer Care for second consecutive year, and Orthopedics, Bariatric Surgery, and Breast Centers for the first time.

Based on thousands of surveys of women, in addition to other research including national accreditations, patient outcomes data, and Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey results, the Women’s Choice Awards are unique in that they identify the country’s best health care institutions based on female patient satisfaction, clinical excellence, and what women say they want from a hospital.
