NYC Health + Hospitals on Sept 26, 2023 announced that ten of its physicians were among 234 doctors across 32 states and 60 specialties named to Castle Connolly’s inaugural list of ‘Top Hispanic & Latino Doctors’ for their outstanding expertise, patient care, and contributions to the field of health care. Presented as a part of National Latino Physician’s Day, all Castle Connolly Top Hispanic & Latino Doctors are nominated by their peers, and are then evaluated by the Castle Connolly research team to determine who makes the list. The new distinction is part of Castle Connolly’s Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Initiative designed to honor top clinicians and enable patients to find Castle Connolly Top Doctors with shared backgrounds and experiences. Castle Connolly is a health care directory that helps patients find providers.
“The excellence and compassion of our staff are the bedrock of our success as a health system, and I applaud our doctors who are recognized in the inaugural ‘Top Hispanic & Latino Doctors’ list by Castle Connolly,” said NYC Health + Hospitals President and CEO Mitchel Katz, MD. “As we celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month and the upcoming National Latino Physicians’ Day, I hope this recognition can also inspire the next generation of Hispanic and Latino students.
