HCA Florida Fawcett Hospital announced today that it has been named one of America’s 250 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades. This achievement places the organization in the top 5% of U.S. hospitals for overall clinical performance. Additionally, HCA Florida Fawcett Hospital has been recognized for its exceptional patient outcomes in key service areas, including one of Healthgrades America’s 50 Best Hospitals for Surgical Care™ and one of Healthgrades America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Joint Replacement™, Gastrointestinal Surgery™ and Spine Surgery™. HCA Florida Fawcett Hospital’s achievement is based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. To determine America’s 250 Best Hospitals for 2026, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for more than 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide. Healthgrades’ analysis found that outcomes vary widely between the nation’s highest- and lowest-performing facilities—and the gap is getting bigger. In fact, if all hospitals, as a group, performed similarly to America’s 250 Best, on average, 210,126 lives could have been saved during the 2022-2024 study period.* These findings illustrate the importance of choosing a facility with an established record of superior clinical outcomes.
