Guthrie Lourdes Hospital Named Among New York's Top Hospitals by Forbes

July 15, 2026

Guthrie Lourdes Hospital has been named to Forbes' inaugural Top Hospitals by State 2026 list, earning recognition as one of New York's leading hospitals. The new state-level ranking highlights hospitals that demonstrate excellence in patient outcomes, hospital best practices, value and patient experience.

Guthrie Lourdes Hospital is the only hospital in Broome County to receive this recognition.

Forbes developed the ranking using healthcare quality measures from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and recognized the top-performing hospitals in each state. Hospitals included on the list were evaluated across multiple categories, with patient outcomes carrying the greatest weight in the methodology.

The honor builds on a growing list of recognitions for Guthrie Lourdes Hospital and underscores the organization's commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care for the communities of Greater Binghamton and the Southern Tier.

Forbes' state rankings are derived from the publication's national hospital ratings system, which evaluates general acute care hospitals on measures related to patient outcomes, hospital best practices, value and patient experience. Hospitals receiving strong overall performance ratings were included among the top hospitals in their respective states.
