The hospital was also recognized as a national leader, placing among the top 50 in four clinical specialties.
ORLANDO, Fla., July 16, 2024 —AdventHealth Orlando has been named by U.S. News & World Report as a 2024-2025 Best Hospital.
AdventHealth Orlando ranked No. 1 in the Orlando metro area among U.S. News’ 2024-2025 edition of Best Hospitals. It’s the 14th consecutive year the hospital has topped the rankings in greater Orlando.
The hospital was also ranked among the top 50 in the nation in four clinical specialties: diabetes and endocrinology; neurology and neurosurgery; obstetrics and gynecology; and ear, nose and throat, and was rated as high performing in seven additional specialties: cancer; cardiology, heart and vascular surgery; gastroenterology and GI surgery; geriatrics; orthopedics; pulmonology and lung surgery; and urology.
“We are proud that AdventHealth has again been recognized for leading the way as Orlando’s No. 1 hospital. Our team continues to provide world-class care with uncommon compassion, resulting in more nationally ranked specialties than any other local hospital,” said Brian Adams, CEO of AdventHealth’s Central Florida Division. “We’re proud of our clinicians and grateful for the recognition by doctors across the country who rated our programs among the top programs in America, and the leaders in Orlando.”
The recognition applies to all AdventHealth’s Central Florida Division hospitals, which include AdventHealth Altamonte Springs; AdventHealth Apopka; AdventHealth Celebration; AdventHealth East Orlando; AdventHealth Kissimmee; AdventHealth Winter Garden; and AdventHealth Winter Park.
In AdventHealth’s East Florida Division, AdventHealth Daytona Beach was named the top hospital in the Deltona-Daytona Beach metro area for the fourth consecutive year.
U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions; only 11% of evaluated hospitals earned a Best Hospitals ranking. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.
“For 35 years, U.S. News has been a leading resource for patients navigating their health care decisions,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “A 'Best Hospital' recognition empowers patients to seek out medical care from the best of the best to treat their illness or condition.”
To calculate the Best Hospitals rankings, U.S. News evaluated each hospital’s performance 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 millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
This year, among other methodology refinements, U.S. News incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on care provided to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of patients included in its annual data analysis. The Procedures & Conditions ratings are based entirely on objective quality measures.
