Centers of medical excellence
PGH services and programs give access to experts working at the leading, cutting-edge centers of medical innovation and patient care in the US.
Being independent from doctor lists, hospitals, and insurers, PGH ensures that patients receive services and care from the most qualified specialists at the hospitals we collaborate with.
These hospitals include the Harvard Medical School Affiliated Hospitals and others from the ‘Honor Roll of Best Hospitals’, ranked and published annually by U.S. News & World Report. Many specialists are also distinguished professors.
The top hospitals are selected from an evaluation of more than 4,500 medical centers nationwide. These are qualified each year by medical specialties and procedures, and ranked on data including performance, mortality rates, outcomes, patient safety, and reputation.
There are excellent doctors and facilities around the world. When it comes to cancer treatment, it is not about country comparisons, but adding on the leading institutions and medical minds to your team.
