More than 20 AdventHealth hospitals across the country earned recognition in the 2025–2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings, highlighting the clinical excellence that powers whole-person health care.
Among the system’s top performers, AdventHealth Orlando earned a place on the national Honor Roll, ranking it among the top 22 hospitals in the country. It was also nationally recognized in 11 adult specialties and received 22 “High Performing” ratings.
AdventHealth hospitals in Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois and Kansas also earned distinctions such as “Best Regional Hospitals” and over 200 high performance ratings across specialties and procedures including heart care, neurology, orthopedics and cancer surgery.
These honors reflect AdventHealth’s focus on making clinically advanced, consumer-centric care more accessible in communities across the country.
“Being nationally recognized for advanced medical care is meaningful, but what matters most is what it means for our communities,” said Michael Cacciatore, MD, chief clinical officer for AdventHealth. “Access to this level of care, close to home and delivered by a mission-driven team, reflects our commitment to be more than a health care provider. We’re honored to serve as a partner, a neighbor and a champion for whole-person health in every community we're a part of.”
AdventHealth is also enhancing the patient experience before, after and between care visits, making it easier to access, navigate and stay connected at every step. These enhancements, Dr. Cacciatore says, are key to becoming a true health partner for people at all stages of life and health.
“While these recognitions highlight excellence in outcomes and specialty care, our mission goes even further than that,” said Dr. Cacciatore. “We believe people are more than the sum of their diagnoses, and we aim to address health in terms of the whole person – body, mind and spirit – so people can live their fullest life.”
