Sep 25, 2024
NYC Health + Hospitals today announced that ten of its doctors from Hispanic and Latino communities were included in Castle Connolly’s ‘Top Hispanic & Latino Doctors 2024’ recognition list. The list, which is currently in its second year, includes 336 outstanding physicians across 35 states and 73 specialties. It was developed in partnership with National Latino Physician Day, which seeks to increase the number of Hispanic and Latino physicians to provide culturally and linguistically concordant care. All of the Top Hispanic & Latino doctors were nominated by their peers and then evaluated by the Castle Connolly research team along criteria which includes professional qualifications, education, hospital and faculty appointments, research leadership, professional reputation, disciplinary history, interpersonal skills and outcomes data. Castle Connolly is a health care directory that helps patients find providers.
“Social and racial equity forms the foundation of our values as a health system and is part of our commitment to excellence in health care. Hiring staff who reflect the diversity of the communities we serve advances these values. I applaud our doctors who are recognized in the ‘Top Hispanic & Latino Doctors’ recognition list by Castle Connolly as we celebrate the diversity of our team,” said NYC Health + Hospitals President and CEO Mitchell Katz, MD.
