Trinity Hospital named as one of America's 250 Best Hospitals for 2026

HCA Florida Trinity Hospital announced today that it has been named one of America’s 250 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades, the number one site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital. This achievement reflects HCA Florida Trinity Hospital’s commitment to clinical excellence and top-tier patient care, placing the organization in the top 5% of U.S. hospitals for overall clinical performance for a fourth year in a row. 

In addition to this distinction for overall clinical care, HCA Florida Trinity Hospital has been recognized for its exceptional patient outcomes in key service areas, including America’s 50 Best Hospitals for Surgical Care, and as one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery, Prostate Surgery and Critical Care. HCA Florida Trinity Hospital also achieved five-star ratings in eight specialty areas, including Cardiac, Orthopedics, Neurosciences, Pulmonary, Prostate Surgery, Gastrointestinal, and Critical Care.

These accolades further underscore HCA Florida Trinity Hospital’s dedication to delivering the highest quality care to every patient, year after year.

“It is an honor for us to be named one of America’s 250 Best Hospitals for 2026 for the fourth straight year. We are proud of our colleagues and their commitment to exceptional, quality patient care to our community. They earned this honor by demonstrating clinical excellence and providing a safe experience for our patients”, said Mike Irvin, CEO HCA Florida Trinity Hospital.

HCA Florida Trinity Hospital’s achievement is based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. To determine America’s 250 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 250 Best, on average, 211,370 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 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 Trinity Hospital, an organization that is setting the standard for clinical excellence nationwide.”

With care variation on the rise, consumers must find and select a top-rated hospital to maximize their chances of a successful outcome.
