It doesn't really matter how many stars a hospital gets, nobody likes going there if they don't have to.

That being said, if you do have to go to the hospital, it helps if the hospital has sufficient staffing and a range of specialty care. Thankfully a handful of New York hospitals ranked among the Top 250 in the country, with one Upstate hospital even cracking the Top 50.
