Reading Hospital has been named to the Newsweek’s World’s Best Hospitals 2025 list. This recognition acknowledges the team of exceptional individuals – doctors, nurses, clinicians and support staff – who are committed to delivering outstanding care to every patient at the hospital.
“Every day our team is presented with the privilege to positively impact the lives of our patients and their families,” said Dr. Charles F. Barbera, Reading Hospital president and CEO. “It’s a significant responsibility, and this award reflects our team’s success in this endeavor.”
Newsweek and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider, present this prestigious award annually.
The list is based on four data sources:
- Results from Patient Surveys - Survey of patient satisfaction with hospitalization.
- Hospital Quality Metrics - Medical indicators e.g., data on quality of care for treatments, hygiene measures, patient safety, and waiting times.
- Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) Implementation Survey - Optional online survey on the implementation and use of PROMs in hospitals.
- Recommendations from Medical Experts - Online survey among tens of thousands of doctors, healthcare professionals, and hospital managers in 30 countries.
Based on the above four sources and their respective weights, a final source was calculated for each hospital.
