Manatee Memorial Hospital Earns Four (4)
U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals Awards
Bradenton, FL – (July 29, 2025) - Manatee Memorial Hospital has been named among U.S. News & World Report’s 2025-2026 Best Hospitals edition as a High Performing hospital for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair, Gynecological Cancer, Heart Arrhythmia, and Pacemaker Implantation. This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn as part of U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings.
U.S. News’ annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their health care providers in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.
“We are honored to be recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a ‘High Performing’ hospital in four critical areas of care. This designation reflects the dedication, expertise, and compassion of our entire clinical team. To be ranked among the top 10% of hospitals nationally—especially when only 15% to 30% of facilities achieve this highest possible rating—is a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional care to our community,” Andy Guz, CEO.
“For more than three decades, U.S. News has been an invaluable guide for patients,” said Managing Editor and Chief of Health Analysis Ben Harder. “Hospitals designated as ‘High Performing’ by U.S. News demonstrate a consistent ability to provide excellent care for particular medical procedures and conditions, showcasing their specialized expertise as well as dedication to exceptional patient outcomes.”
U.S. News evaluated more than 4,400 hospitals across 15 adult specialties and 22 procedures and conditions; only one third of them earned an award. To determine the Best Hospitals, U.S. News analyzed each hospital’s performance based on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from over 800 million records of patient care.
