Healthgrades' names Largo Hospital one of America's 100 Best Hospitals for 2026

HCA Florida Largo Hospital announced today that it has been named one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades. This achievement places the organization in the top 2% of U.S. hospitals for overall clinical performance.

Additionally, HCA Florida Largo Hospital has been recognized for its exceptional patient outcomes in key service areas, including one of Healthgrades America’s 50 Best Hospitals for Surgical Care™ and one of Healthgrades America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Critical Care™ and Stroke Care™.

“This recognition underscores what matters most to the colleagues at HCA Florida Largo Hospital, and that is to consistently deliver the best possible care for our patients and their families” shares Sebastian Strom, MD, chief executive officer at HCA Florida Largo Hospital.

HCA Florida Largo Hospital’s achievement is based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. To determine America’s 100 Best Hospitals for 2026, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for more than 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide.

Healthgrades’ analysis found that outcomes vary widely between the nation’s highest and lowest-performing facilities — and the gap is getting bigger. In fact, if all hospitals, as a group, performed similarly to America’s 100 Best, on average, 210,126 lives could have been saved during the 2022-2024 study period. * These findings illustrate the importance of choosing a facility with an established record of superior clinical outcomes.

“This year's America’s Best Hospitals list gives patients a clearer picture of where high-quality care is delivered most consistently,” said Alana Biggers, MD, MPH, medical advisor at Healthgrades. “Patients can feel confident in their decision to seek care at HCA Florida Largo Hospital, an organization that is setting the standard for clinical excellence nationwide.”
