The data was used to identify the highest performing hospitals in women\u2019s health, and it revealed variations in quality between hospitals that received this award and those that didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Flushing Hospital was one of only two hospitals in Queens to receive this honor and one of only four in New York City.
