Sarasota Memorial Health Care System reached an important milestone–both its Sarasota and Venice hospitals earned the highest 5-Star quality rating from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). In the update to the CMS Care Compare website–a federal tool that helps patients evaluate quality and safety in more than 4,000 hospitals nationwide–Sarasota Memorial Hospital-Sarasota earned a 5-Star rating for the 11th consecutive year, while Sarasota Memorial Hospital-Venice improved from four stars to its first 5-Star rating since opening in 2021. The community-owned health system boasts the only 5-Star hospitals in the four-county Suncoast region, and its flagship SMH-Sarasota campus remains the only hospital in Florida, and among just 17 in the nation, to maintain a perfect 5-Star rating every year since the ratings began in 2016.
