Sarasota Memorial Health Care System kicked off 2026 achieving what no other Florida hospital could: a perfect 5-Star rating from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services — every year — for 10 years straight. For patients and families on the Suncoast, the decade-long quality streak serves as a powerful promise, said David Verinder, CEO of the community-owned Sarasota Memorial Health Care System. As part of its celebration, Sarasota Memorial is inviting the community to help honor the team with a “Stargram.” Community members can share a note of thanks and send a digital Stargram recognizing staff members who went above and beyond on the hospital’s website (www.smh.com/stargram). Stargrams will be delivered directly to recognized employees and their leadership teams, ensuring the people “behind the stars” receive the personal recognition they deserve.
