What every woman should know about Long Island hospitals.
®
Healthgrades has recognized only one New York State hospital for its superior care of women*: Winthrop.
If every hospital provided women with the same level of care as
Winthrop and the other Women's Health Excellence Award™
recipients, nearly 40,000 lives could have been saved† A recent

landmark study by Healthgrades, the leading independent health
care ratings organization, of women aged 65 years and older,
2008-2010, reveals some alarming facts. Following a heart attack,
for example, women receive far fewer surgical interventions than
men. And when they do, women suffer a 29.1% higher death rate.
Other disturbing disparities were found across 16 of the most
common diagnoses and procedures among women.
Winthrop-University Hospital is one of only
seven hospitals nationwide, and the only
hospital in New York State, to simultaneously
receive all three of these achievements.
But women are not powerless. A small percentage of hospitals
are doing a far superior job for women. And saving thousands of
lives. Only one of these elite institutions is located in Nassau and
Suffolk counties – Winthrop-University Hospital.
