SARASOTA, Fla. (July 1, 2025) – Sarasota Memorial Hospital ranks among the top five hospitals in Florida and top 75 nationally in Money magazine’s “Best Hospitals for Rehabilitation” 2025 study.
What makes a hospital stand out for stand out for rehabilitative care? In Money’s judgment, it’s when a hospital provides tailored inpatient rehabilitation care across multiple specialties to help patients recover from serious injury after they’re medically stable.
Money's annual study examines key quality and safety indicators – including clinical outcomes, patient reviews, specialty rehabilitation certifications and other awards that denote quality care from experienced staff. It also looks at the cost of care and financial aspects of a patient’s stay.
Earlier this year, SMH’s flagship Sarasota campus made Money’s shortlist of high-performing facilities for 2025. After evaluating more than 6,000 hospitals and 30,000 data points, SMH ranked #25 nationally and earned the #1 spot in Florida for overall quality and care. Money also spotlighted the top hospitals in five specialty categories, with SMH spotlighted for cardiac, cancer, maternity and pediatric care.
