These 10 NJ hospitals are among the '250 best' in the U.S.

The health care company Healthgrades has analyzed the performance of more than 4,500 hospitals nationwide to come up with a list of the 250 best facilities overall.

Ten hospitals in New Jersey earned a spot on the list. And two of them performed so well, they have spots on the company's "Best 50" list.

Healthgrades used a methodology that is based mainly on patient outcomes.

According to Healthgrades, if all hospitals performed as well as the facilities included on the list of America's 250 Best Hospitals, more than 178,000 lives lost between 2020 and 2022 potentially could have been saved.
