- Sarasota Memorial was named among 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals in US, in the 2021 Fortune/IBM Watson Health 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals list. SMH was the only Suncoast hospital that made the 2021 list.
- Sarasota Memorial was among the first hospitals in Florida to offer TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR), a clinically proven, minimally invasive procedure to treat carotid artery disease and help prevent future strokes. TCAR potentially avoids some of the complications that can occur with other treatment options and is a safer alternative for patients deemed too high risk for carotid endarterectomy (the open surgery commonly used to treat severe carotid stenosis).
- Our Cardiac Cath Lab is equipped with the latest tools and technology.
- Accredited as an American Heart Association Cardiovascular Center of Excellence. Sarasota Memorial was the first in Florida and only the fourth in the US to earn this designation for exemplary comprehensive cardiovascular care.
- Sarasota Memorial is the only hospital in Florida to have consistently earned the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid's highest 5-star rating for overall quality and safety since the rating system launched in 2016.
