SMH Elevates Care for Older Adults, Earns its GED Accreditation

Business

Sarasota Memorial is the first health system on the Suncoast to earn “GED” Accreditation, demonstrating our commitment to providing extra resources to help address the complex social and physical needs of older adults. GED accreditation is one more step SMH has taken as it continues to prioritize the care of older patients. In 2019, SMH-Sarasota received national recognition as an “Age-Friendly Health System,” joining more than 100 hospitals across the U.S. implementing best practices to enhance care for older adults. Shortly after opening in 2021, SMH-Venice also earned the “Age-Friendly” designation, which is awarded to hospitals that prioritize elements of care most important to older patients.
