U.S. News recognition reflects high-quality care close to home for Central Florida patients
.
ORLANDO, Fla. — People in Central Florida do not have to leave the region to find world class, whole-person care. AdventHealth Orlando has been named by U.S. News & World Report a 2026-2027 Best Hospital.
The hospital is ranked No. 1 in Central Florida among U.S. News’ latest edition of Best Hospitals. It’s the 16th year in a row AdventHealth has been named Orlando’s best hospital.
In addition, four medical specialties – obstetrics and gynecology; diabetes and endocrinology; gastroenterology and GI surgery; and cardiology, heart and vascular surgery – were ranked among the Top 50 programs in the nation. Another five –cancer; geriatrics; neurology and neurosurgery; pulmonology & lung surgery; and rehabilitation – were designated as high-performing.
The recognitions apply to all AdventHealth’s hospitals in Orange, Osceola, Seminole and South Lake counties, which operate under AdventHealth Orlando’s Medicare license.
“Our sacred mission calls us to care for every person with uncommon compassion because caring for you comes first,” said Dr. Victor Herrera, chief clinical officer of AdventHealth Central Florida. “AdventHealth Orlando being named the No. 1 hospital in Orlando for the 16th year in a row by U.S. News & World Report reflects our longstanding commitment to helping every person receive exceptional specialty and subspecialty care close to home with confidence and peace of mind.”
U.S. News evaluated nearly 4,500 hospitals across 14 adult specialties and 23 procedures and conditions; only 16% of evaluated hospitals earned a Best Hospitals designation.
“A hospital named among the U.S. News Best Hospitals has demonstrated its commitment to high-quality care, especially in achieving successful outcomes for patients,” said U.S. News’ Managing Editor and Chief of Health Analysis Ben Harder. “A Best Hospitals recognition reflects consistent top-tier medical care to its community.”
The U.S. News Best Hospitals rankings serve as a starting point for patients and families, who should consult with their personal physicians when making specific healthcare decisions.
To determine the Best Hospitals, U.S. News analyzed each hospital’s performance based on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and patient experience. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from over 800 million records of patient care.
