Business

Sarasota Memorial Hospital – Sarasota Campus was named among the nation's “Best Hospitals for Maternity Care” in a 2025 report issued by U.S. News and World Report. Sarasota Memorial was among just 15% of 2,674 maternity hospitals in the nation that made the 2025 list. To be recognized, hospitals had to demonstrate superior performance on multiple quality metrics that matter to expectant families, including: newborn complication rates; C-section rates in low-risk women; the number of births scheduled too early in pregnancy; whether hospitals gave women the option for vaginal births after cesarean; and how hospitals supported mother-baby bonding and breastfeeding.
