“We are very pleased to be named to the U.S. News & World Report ‘America’s Best Hospitals’ listing,” said Thomas Balcezak, MD, chief clinical officer at Yale New Haven Health System (YNHHS). “First, this honor spotlights the hard work and dedication of our very talented team of physicians, nurses and staff with deserved national attention and recognition.

This designation is a reflection of that on-going commitment to those we serve at a time where our patients and their families have needed us perhaps more than ever.”
