Sarasota Memorial Ranked Among Money Magazine’s 10 Best Hospitals in Nation

SARASOTA, Fla. – Sarasota Memorial Hospital was ranked among America’s 10 Best Hospitals in a 2024 hospital quality study released by Money.

The methodology for Money’s 2024 list of the best hospitals in America leans heavily on key quality and safety indicators – including low mortality and hospital readmission rates – as well as patient satisfaction and the experience of the hospitals’ doctors.

SMH-Sarasota immediately made the shortlist of safe, high-quality hospitals because of multiple national quality and safety rankings it receives each year, including consistently high 5-star ratings from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

But when factoring in the experience of its doctors and patients, SMH rose to #7 out of 115 standout hospitals in Money’s final list of the best hospitals in the country. Money’s quality ranking differs from others in that it scores hospitals not only hospital quality and safety indicators, but also factors in the experience of more than a million practitioners caring for patients in those hospitals.

“Our selection methodology takes a particularly fair and equitable approach to identifying high-quality hospitals with exceptionally experienced staff… each hospital’s ranking score is largely a product of how experienced its physicians are,” Money reported with the debut of its 2024 list of best hospitals.
