HCA Florida Kendall Hospital recently announced that it has been named one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades, the No. 1 site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital.
This achievement – Healthgrades’ highest honor for clinical excellence – reflects HCA Florida Kendall Hospital’s exemplary standard of care and places the organization in the top 1 percent of hospitals nationwide.

“This recognition reflects the exceptional care our teams provide every day,” said Ben Harris, CEO of HCA Florida Kendall Hospital. “Through major investments in technology, renovations, and high-acuity services, including 13 surgical robots and our growth as a Level 1 Trauma Center, we’re expanding what’s possible for patients and delivering world-class care close to home.”
HCA Florida Kendall Hospital’s achievement is based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. To determine America’s 50 Best Hospitals for 2026, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for more than 30 of the most common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide.
Healthgrades’ analysis found that outcomes vary widely between the nation’s highest and lowest-performing facilities — and the gap is getting bigger. In fact, if all hospitals, as a group, performed similarly to America’s 50 Best, on average, 209,081 lives could have been saved during the 2022-24 study period. These findings illustrate the importance of choosing a facility with an established record of superior patient outcomes.
“This year’s America’s Best Hospitals list gives patients a clearer picture of where high-quality care is delivered most consistently,” said Alana Biggers, MD, MPH, medical advisor at Healthgrades. “Patients can feel confident in their decision to seek care at HCA Florida Kendall Hospital, an organization that is setting the standard for clinical excellence nationwide.”
With care variation on the rise, consumers must find and select a top-rated hospital to maximize their chances of a successful outcome.
