Castle Connolly ranks Yale New Haven Health seventh in the nation

New Haven, CT (February 3, 2025) – Yale New Haven Health (YNHHS) has been ranked as the seventh best heath system in the U.S. by Castle Connolly, a healthcare research company that recognizes doctors considered among the best in their specialty. YNHHS was also the top-ranked health system in the state of Connecticut.

Yale Medicine, the clinical practice of Yale School of Medicine, was ranked third in the nation for physician practices and YNHHS’ physician foundation, Northeast Medical Group (NEMG), ranked eighth.

For state-wide rankings, Yale Medicine and NEMG ranked first and second respectively for physician practices while Yale New Haven Hospital was ranked as the best hospital in Connecticut.

“We are extremely proud to celebrate the national and local recognition by Castle Connolly today,” said Christopher O’Connor, CEO, YNHHS. “To see Yale New Haven Health as the only Connecticut-based system ranked in the top 10 nationally helps highlight the outstanding work our teams are doing to provide the highest level of care to patients and families. We congratulate the Yale Medicine and NEMG physicians and all of the outstanding clinical teams that make this honor possible.”

The rankings are part of Castle Connolly’s 2025 Accolades, which recognize physician practices, health systems, and hospitals that “provide an outstanding level of high-quality health care through their top-ranked Castle Connolly Top Doctor physicians,” the company says on its website. “Accolades are presented based on the number of Top Doctors at a given institution, with consideration given to the institution type, location and area of specialty.”

Each year, Castle Connolly seeks peer nominations from physicians for its “Top Doctors” list. After a rigorous screening process, these nominations are culled to create final national and regional lists based on physician education and training, research leadership, interpersonal skills, availability to accept new patients and years in practice.

The 2025 “Top Doctors” are currently listed on Castle Connolly’s website. The state results will be published in the May issue of Connecticut Magazine. Last year, more than 700 YNHHS specialists earned a spot on the Connecticut list.
