Tampa General was ranked the best among the best academic medical centers this week by two trusted, third-party organizations.
Vizient, Inc.’s annual rankings published Friday list Tampa General among the top 30% of the nation’s leading hospitals for overall performance. The ranking demonstrates significant gains since Tampa General joined the cohort in 2017 at the 81st percentile.
“With technology, innovation and exceptional talent, Tampa General is continuously working to elevate quality, enhance safety and improve patient outcomes,” said John Couris, president and CEO of Tampa General Hospital.
“This monumental climb in rankings from Vizient is a testament to the relentless pursuit of exceptionalism by physicians, nurses and every member of our team, and it’s an indication of the level of world-class care our patients receive when they seek care at Tampa General.”
Notably, Vizient ranks Tampa General in the top quartile for risk-adjusted mortality rate (13th percentile) and length of stay (21st percentile) when measured against other academic medical centers in the nation that care for patients with the rarest and most complex diseases and conditions.
The Vizient Quality and Accountability Study measures safety, mortality and efficiency, among other metrics, across 118 comprehensive academic medical centers, including NYU Langone, Mass General Brigham and Vanderbilt University. Tampa General is the only system in Tampa Bay that participates in Vizient’s cohort of large academic medical centers.
Also this week, Becker’s Hospital Review listed TGH among the top 100 academic medical centers to know in 2025.
“Academic medical centers combine exceptional patient care with cutting-edge research and groundbreaking medical advancements,” according to Becker’s. “The 100 institutions (listed) are renowned for their clinical excellence, innovative programs, research leadership, educational impact and commitment to patient satisfaction.”
“These academic medical centers consistently demonstrate excellence across a wide range of specialties and set the standard for leadership in the healthcare industry.”
