"We are delighted and honored to once again be a top hospital for cancer, but this recognition is really a reflection of an entire community of exceptional people — our dedicated staff of almost 13,000 and our patients who have placed their trust in our care," said Memorial Sloan Kettering's CEO Dr. Craig Thompson. "We may be Number 1 in the national rankings for this year, but our patients are Number 1 to us every day."
