Tampa Hospital Named No. 3 In Florida On Newsweek's Top Hospitals List

TAMPA, FL — Tampa General Hospital has been named the No. 1 hospital in Tampa Bay and the No. 3 hospital in Florida as well as one of the top 100 hospitals in the United States, according to Newsweek. The 1,040-bed academic medical center was recently ranked as one of the news magazine’s "World's Best Hospitals 2023" and was listed among the Best Hospitals for Infection Prevention.

“This recognition is a true testament to our exceptional team at Tampa General Hospital, who tirelessly deliver world-class patient care every day,” said John Couris, president and CEO of Tampa General Hospital. “I am honored to lead and work side by side with such dedicated health care professionals who work relentlessly to ensure that Tampa General Hospital is one of the safest and most innovative health systems in the nation.”

The “World's Best Hospitals 2023” list recognizes the best medical institutions across 28 countries: the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, Brazil, Canada, India, Australia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Austria, Thailand, Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Israel, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, Colombia, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan. The countries were selected based on multiple comparability factors, including standard of life expectancy, population size, number of hospitals and data availability.

“Among the hallmarks of great hospitals are not just first-class care, first-class research and first-class innovation," said Nancy Cooper, global editor-in-chief of Newsweek. "The very best institutions also share another quality: consistency. The world's best hospitals consistently attract the best people and provide the best outcomes for patients as well as the most important new therapies and research. Of all the hospitals in the world, relatively few can do all those things year in and year out. The best belong to a very exclusive club."

Newsweek compared scores among hospitals in the same country because different sources for patient experience and medical Key Performance Indicators were examined in each country. The U.S. ranking listed 414 participating hospitals with Tampa General at No. 84.

Additionally, Tampa General Hospital has been designated as a model of excellence on the 2022 Fortune/Merative 100 Top Hospitals list, was recognized with two prestigious Forbes magazine rankings — first nationally in the 2022 America’s Best Employers for Women and sixth out of 100 Florida companies in the 2022 for America's Best Employers by State.
