Outstanding healthcare is the foundation of a strong community. Sarasota Memorial Healthcare Foundation supports Sarasota Memorial Health Care System's mission of providing healthcare services that excel in caring, quality and innovation. From helping to purchase the most technologically advanced medical equipment to funding SMH staff training and certifications that enable them to perform the most advanced medical procedures, the Healthcare Foundation provides critical resources that help SMH maintain its ranking as one of the nation’s top hospitals.
Sarasota Memorial Hospital was recently recognized again by ranking #1 Hospital in the Region by the U.S. News's Best Hospital report by scoring a Perfect 10! Not only that, but SMH was also designated at a national "standout" hospital for earning top ratings in all evaluated conditions and procedures - an accomplishment achieved by less than 1% of the 4000+ hospitals. Our system has also earned Magnet® recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), as well as these additional accolades: Gallup Great Workplace 2018; recipient of an "A" grade for Patient Safety. Sarasota Memorial Hospital is Magnet designated and the only provider of Level II trauma services, obstetrical services, and Level III neonatal intensive care in Sarasota County.
