It’s Written in the Stars.
For 10 years straight, Sarasota Memorial Hospital has earned Medicare’s highest 5-Star rating for overall quality and safety — a level of consistent excellence no other Florida hospital has matched since the ratings began in 2016.
A perfect rating doesn’t happen by chance. It reflects a culture built around people — listening closely, acting quickly, and never letting “good enough” be the finish line.
