Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) is closing in on the top-10 ranked hospitals in Florida, having been recognized as a Best Regional Hospital for 2023-2024 by U.S. News & World Report, a global authority in hospital rankings and consumer advice.

Following a thorough analysis using a variety of measures such as survival and complication rates, patient experience and level of nursing care, U.S. News ranked TMH as the 12th best hospital in Florida for 2023-2024, up from 24th in 2022. U.S. News evaluated 254 of the more than 370 hospitals in Florida. Of those hospitals evaluated, 24 meet high U.S. News standards and are ranked in the state.

“For several years now, we’ve been in relentless pursuit of excelling in the safety and quality measures that let our patients and community know they can count on the best healthcare possible at TMH,” President & CEO Mark O’Bryant said. “Our leaders and front-line caregivers are working every day to ensure excellent patient outcomes and quality scores. At every level of the organization, we’re talking about quality and putting processes in place to make our care even better. It’s incredibly rewarding to now see that hard work paying off.”

In addition to being ranked as the 12th hospital in the state, TMH was rated as “High Performing” in 10 areas of care – up from seven last year:

“High Performing” is the highest award a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings and indicates TMH provides care that is significantly better than the national average, as measured by factors such as patient outcomes.

Over the past 75 years, TMH has transformed from a small community hospital into a leading healthcare system in the Southeast. In fiscal year 2022 alone, TMH saw 31,190 inpatient admissions. Here are some additional stats from 2022:
