“Being recognized as the [No.] 1 hospital in our region for the 11th consecutive year is a tremendous honor because it reflects the unwavering commitment of our physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, team members and volunteers who deliver extraordinary care every day,” John Couris, president and CEO of Florida Health Sciences Center | Tampa General, said. “This recognition belongs to every person across our organization — from those caring for patients at the bedside to those supporting our teams behind the scenes. Together with our academic partner, the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine, we’ve built an academic health system that continues to raise the standard for patient care through innovation, collaboration and an unwavering commitment to clinical excellence.”

This year, U.S. News also introduced regional specialty rankings for cancer; cardiology, heart and vascular surgery; orthopedics; and rehabilitation, giving patients another way to identify highly rated care closer to home.
