Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center ranks No. 1 in the state for cardiology and heart care, according to Healthgrade
West Orange, NJ (January 23, 2023) – Two RWJBarnabas medical facilities rank in the top five in New Jersey across a variety of specialty care areas, according to a new analysis released by Healthgrades, a leading marketplace that connects doctors and patients. The certified facilities are Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) Somerset in Somerville, New Jersey.
Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center is ranked #1 in New Jersey, in the top 5% nationally for both cardiology and heart care, and #3 in the state for respiratory care and gastrointestinal surgery. RWJUH Somerset University ranks second in New Jersey for both gastrointestinal surgery and gastroenterology, and third in the state for cardiology and gastroenterology practices. Both hospitals are ranked among the 250 best hospitals in the United States, according to Healthgrades.
“RWJBarnabas Health's executive vice president and chief medical quality officer, Dr. Andy Anderson, said: “These rankings recognize our dedicated staff and our commitment to providing safe, quality, comprehensive care to New Jersey residents and improving patient outcomes across our system. This is proof.”
To determine the top hospitals for 2024, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for more than 30 conditions and procedures at nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide.

Consumers know they have access to top-rated care at RWJBarnabas Health. You should be relieved to know this.”
