AHN West Penn Hospital Recognized as one of the Nation’s Top 50 Hospitals for Obstetrics and Gynecology by U.S. News and World Report for Second Consecutive Year

AHN West Penn Only Hospital in Greater Pittsburgh Region Ranked for Gynecological Care; Multiple AHN hospitals Achieve High Performing Status Across Numerous Specialties

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Allegheny Health Network (AHN) West Penn Hospital, AHN's flagship hospital for women's health care, has been named one of the top 50 hospitals in the nation for obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN), according to the U.S. News and World Report Best Hospitals Rankings, released to the public today.

AHN West Penn was ranked 30th in the nation for OB/GYN, making it the highest positioned hospital in western Pennsylvania for those specialties, and the only ranked hospital within the Greater Pittsburgh region. Today's announcement marks the second consecutive year that AHN West Penn has placed within the top 50 hospitals for women's care by U.S. News.

“Congratulations to the entire team across AHN West Penn and AHN Women’s Institute, whose tireless work and compassionate care has placed us as the only top-ranked hospital in Pittsburgh for obstetrical and gynecological services,” said Brian Johnson, MD, president at AHN West Penn.

To identify the best hospitals in the country for obstetrics and gynecology, U.S. News evaluates facilities that provide a high volume of complex care related to pelvic, cervical, uterine and ovarian cancers, diseases and procedures. U.S. News considers factors such as 30-day survival for complex conditions, the number of patients served, and advanced technologies and services available. Also factored into the final ranking are the views of patients about the quality of their experience at hospitals, as well as the hospital's reputation among board-certified physicians.

"On behalf of Allegheny Health Network, we are extremely proud of the entire team at AHN West Penn and the AHN Women's Institute," said Marcia Klein-Patel, MD, PhD, OB/GYN physician and chair of AHN Women's Institute. "Today's announcement marks the second consecutive year that U.S. News has recognized our remarkable physicians and clinicians for their steadfast commitment to the positive health outcomes and overall well-being of women and birthing people throughout our region."

West Penn Hospital is home to AHN's busiest labor and delivery center, delivering about 4,000 babies each year, and a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit that offers high-level care to critically ill babies. The hospital also houses the AHN Women's Behavioral Health and the Alexis Joy D'Achille Center for Perinatal Mental Health, supporting mothers during pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. In 2023, the program expanded to include a mother-baby intensive outpatient program.

"Congratulations to the entire team across AHN West Penn and AHN Women's Institute, whose tireless work and compassionate care has placed us as the only top-ranked hospital in Pittsburgh for obstetrical and gynecological services. Today's exciting recognition reflects the amazing clinical skill, expertise and dedication our clinicians bring to every patient that entrusts us with their care," said Brian Johnson, MD, president at AHN West Penn.

AHN's Allegheny General Hospital (AGH) was also recognized as a Best Regional Hospital by U.S. News for rating as a high performer in nine different procedures and conditions across cardiovascular medicine, stroke care, colon and lung cancer as well as knee replacement.

AHN hospitals were recognized as high performers in numerous other procedures and conditions, as follows. West Penn: heart attack care, ovarian cancer surgery, and leukemia and lymphoma cancers; Allegheny Valley Hospital: heart failure and COPD; Forbes Hospital: heart attack, heart failure and diabetes; Jefferson Hospital: heart failure, diabetes, stroke and hip replacement; Saint Vincent hospital: heart attack, heart failure and stroke.
