The 2022-2023 U.S. News & World Report on U.S. News Best Hospitals is out, and Tampa General Hospital (TGH) has once again secured the #1 ranked hospital in Tampa Bay for the seventh consecutive year.

TGH is also the only hospital in Florida to be ranked in the top 50 nationally or among the top 10% of U.S. hospitals in all 12 data-driven specialties for this year’s report.

“To be recognized as a national leader in health care for seven consecutive years is a testament to the unwavering dedication and commitment to the world-class clinical excellence delivered by our entire team day after day,” said TGH President and CEO John Couris.

The achievements don’t end there.
