Sarasota Memorial kicked off 2026 achieving a feat no other Florida hospital can claim: a perfect 5-Star rating from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services — every year — for 10 years straight. To celebrate the milestone, SMH is honoring its 2,500 physicians and 11,000 staff members, the people behind the stars, and their unwavering dedication to put their patients’ health and safety above all else.
