HCA Florida Sarasota Doctors Hospital named to Forbes Top Hospitals 2026 list

HCA Florida Sarasota Doctors Hospital has been recognized by Forbes as one of the nation’s top hospitals. The company published the list in its first ever ranking report. The prestigious honor places the hospital among a select group of hospitals nationwide. The ratings are based on demonstrated excellence in patient outcomes, best practices, value and patient experience. Out of more than 5,400 general acute care hospitals that were evaluated, only 14% earned a four or five-star rating, including Sarasota Doctors Hospital. Just 29 hospitals in the state of Florida made the list.

“This recognition, along with our many other awards and distinctions, shows the commitment our colleagues have to providing high-quality care for our community every day. Patients trust us, and we are honored they choose us for their care,” said Joe Rudisill, CEO of HCA Florida Sarasota Doctors Hospital.

The top hospital list was developed using data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The rankings emphasize clinical outcomes such as survival rates, infection prevention and readmission rates. In an article publicizing the new list, Forbes wrote the unique rating system offers people unbiased information on which hospitals offer top notch, high value medical services.
