This recognition is a testament to the exceptional care and services provided by Tampa General, which has been the top-ranked hospital in the Tampa Bay region for nine consecutive years. The hospital’s President and CEO, John Couris, attributes this success to the strong partnership between Tampa General and USF Health, as well as the collaborative efforts of their teams to advance research, innovation, and technology in healthcare.

This achievement highlights the hospital’s commitment to providing high-quality care across a wide range of medical disciplines.
Meanwhile, Johns Hopkins All Children’s in St. Petersburg was named the top hospital for kids in Florida, further solidifying the state’s reputation for world-class healthcare facilities. The rankings also included UF Health Shands in Gainesville, AdventHealth Orlando, and Sarasota Memorial Hospital among the top five hospitals in the state.
The rankings were determined based on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications, and level of nursing care, using data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The procedures and conditions ratings were also based on quality measures to ensure accuracy and reliability in the rankings.
Overall, the latest U.S. News rankings reaffirm Tampa General Hospital’s position as a leader in healthcare excellence, providing top-notch care to patients in the Tampa Bay area and beyond.
