For the 17th straight year, area residents
have identified Albany Medical Center as their
top choice for quality health care services with
the Consumer Choice Award from the National
Research Corp.
Albany Med is the only hospital in northeastern
New York to receive this award.
The National Research Corp. annually gives
Consumer Choice Awards for the most preferred
hospitals in more than 300 U.S. markets. To conduct
the study, the NRC surveyed households in
each of these markets throughout the nation,
including households in this region. Winners
are determined by consumer perceptions on
multiple quality and image ratings, including:
best overall quality, best image and reputation,
best doctors, and best nurses, according to the
organization.
