Other AdventHealth hospitals to earn state rankings were AMITA Health Adventist Medical Center Hinsdale, AdventHealth Daytona Beach, AdventHealth Waterman, AdventHealth Heart of Florida and AdventHealth Tampa.

Numerous AdventHealth hospitals also received recognition for specialty care and high performance with specific procedures and conditions, including AdventHealth for Children, which ranked first in Florida for neonatology for a second consecutive year.

The U.S. News Best Hospitals methodologies in most areas of care are based largely on objective measures such as risk-adjusted survival and discharge-to-home rates, volume and quality of nursing, among other care-related indicators.

Best Hospitals was produced by U.S. News with RTI International, a leading research organization based in Research Triangle Park, N.C.
