Sarasota Memorial Continues Straight 'A' Safety Streak

Business

Both Sarasota Memorial hospital campuses received top marks for how well they prevent medical errors, accidents and infections in The Leapfrog Group’s Fall 2025 Hospital Safety Report Cards released today. It is the latest in a streak of straight A’s earned by Sarasota Memorial Health Care System’s flagship SMH-Sarasota campus and its newer SMH-Venice campus, which opened in November 2021. Issued in the spring and fall of each year to approximately 3,000 general hospitals across the nation, Leapfrog’s safety grades are based on annual hospital survey data and patient safety measures obtained from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.  SMH-Sarasota is the only hospital on the Suncoast, and among approximately 10% in the nation, to earn Leapfrog’s elite “Straight A” designation. The Sarasota campus has received straight A’s since it began participating in the Leapfrog survey in 2016.
