“To be ranked among the best hospitals in New Jersey and the New York Metro area for the third consecutive year by U.S. News and World Report is a testament to the physicians, nurses and staff at Clara Maass Medical Center,” said Mary Ellen Clyne, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Clara Maass Medical Center. “We are proud to once again be recognized for providing outstanding health care to our patients and members of the communities we serve.”
