- Sarasota Memorial Hospital – Sarasota is one of only four hospitals in Florida to achieve accreditation in Adult Echo, Adult TEE, Pediatric Echo and Vascular Ultrasound from the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC). The IAC administers rigorous testing to ensure facilities who earn accreditation demonstrate a commitment to quality patient care and outcomes.
- Sarasota Memorial was named among 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals in US, in the 2022 Fortune/IBM Watson Health 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals list.
- Sarasota Memorial was among the first hospitals in Florida to offer TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR), a clinically proven, minimally invasive procedure to treat carotid artery disease and help prevent future strokes. TCAR potentially avoids some of the complications that can occur with other treatment options and is a safer alternative for patients deemed too high risk for carotid endarterectomy (the open surgery commonly used to treat severe carotid stenosis).
- Accredited as an American Heart Association Cardiovascular Center of Excellence. Sarasota Memorial was the first in Florida and only the fourth in the US to earn this designation for exemplary comprehensive cardiovascular care.
