“Earning a spot on this prestigious list reflects Valley’s commitment to providing exceptional cancer care for our patients,” said Dr. Ephraim Casper, Valley/Mount Sinai Director of Comprehensive Cancer Care. “I am very proud of our entire team for earning this recognition.”
The Becker's Hospital Review editorial team selected hospitals for inclusion based on recognitions received and accreditations earned. The editorial team at Becker’s examined U.S. News & World Report cancer care rankings, CareChex cancer care rankings, Blue Cross Blue Shield Association Blue Distinction Center designation and input from the National Cancer Institute while compiling this list.
