5 HCA Florida Healthcare Hospitals in Tampa Bay named Healthgrades America's 250 Best Hospitals

HCA Florida Healthcare’s West Florida Division announced five Tampa Bay area hospitals earned the 2025 America’s 250 Best Hospitals Award™ from Healthgrades today. HCA Florida Brandon Hospital, HCA Florida Largo Hospital, HCA Florida Northside Hospital, HCA Florida Oak Hill Hospital and HCA Florida Trinity Hospitals earned the distinction, placing them in the top 5% of hospitals nationwide for overall clinical performance.

It is the fourth consecutive year that Largo Hospital has earned this distinction, the third consecutive year for Trinity Hospital and the second consecutive year for Northside Hospital and Oak Hill Hospital.  Additionally, each hospital earned numerous accolades in relation to exceptional patient outcomes in key services areas. These achievements further underscore HCA Florida Healthcare’s commitment to clinical excellence.

“As the Tampa Bay region’s largest healthcare network with more than 23,000 dedicated colleagues at 17 hospitals, we are focused on ensuring the highest quality of care for our patients,” said Jyric Sims, president, HCA Healthcare West Florida Division.  “These achievements are a testament to our ongoing focus on providing clinical excellence to the communities along Florida’s West Coast.”

The awards are based exclusively on what matters most: patient outcomes. To determine the top hospitals for 2025, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for over 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide. Healthgrades’ annual analysis revealed significant performance gaps between the nation’s highest-achieving and lowest-achieving hospitals, making it increasingly important to seek care at a top-rated facility. In fact, from 2021-2023, if all hospitals, as a group, had performed similarly to America’s 250 Best, on average, 174,081 lives could potentially have been saved. *

“As one of America’s 250 Best Hospitals, HCA Florida Brandon Hospital, Largo Hospital, Northside Hospital, Oak Hill Hospital and Trinity Hospital are elevating the standard for quality care nationwide,” said Brad Bowman, MD, chief medical officer and head of data science at Healthgrades. “Healthgrades commends them for their ongoing leadership and commitment to providing the best possible care for all patients in Tampa Bay.”
