Healthgrades Names Mount Sinai Medical Center One of America's 100 Best Hospitals for Cardiac, Stroke, and Pulmonary Care and Gastrointestinal Surgery

Ranked #1 in Florida for Gastrointestinal Surgery

MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognized among America's 100 Best Hospitals (Top 2% nationally) for three consecutive years, Mount Sinai Medical Center announced today that it has achieved numerous national accolades for clinical excellence from Healthgrades, the #1 site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital.

Mount Sinai earned four America's 100 Best Hospitals specialty distinctions—Cardiac Care™ (2027), Pulmonary Care™ (2026–2027), Stroke Care™ (2024–2027), and Gastrointestinal Surgery™ (2024–2027)—and ranked among the top 5 in Florida for:

• Gastrointestinal Surgery (#1)
• Cranial Neurosurgery (#3)
• Cardiac Care (#5)
• Cardiology Services (#5)
• Neurosciences (#5)
• Stroke Care (#5)

Among Mount Sinai's new recognitions are nine Specialty Excellence Awards spanning cardiac, neurosciences, pulmonary, gastrointestinal and critical care. The medical center ranks among the top 5% nationwide for cardiology services, neurosciences, cranial neurosurgery, treatment of stroke, overall pulmonary services and gastrointestinal surgery. Mount Sinai also achieved 15 Five-Star Ratings across high-impact procedures and conditions.

Several ratings reflect more than a decade of consistent performance. Mount Sinai has been a five-star recipient for treatment of gastrointestinal bleed for 11 consecutive years, and for stroke and sepsis for 10.

"Being ranked first in Florida for gastrointestinal surgery, and recognized nationally across cardiac, pulmonary and stroke care, tells our community that the outcomes here stand with the best in the nation," said Gino R. Santorio, President and CEO of Mount Sinai Medical Center. "These results belong to our physicians, nurses and care teams, who deliver them one patient at a time, year after year."

Mount Sinai's achievements are based solely on what matters most: patient outcomes. Unlike rankings based on surveys or reputation, Healthgrades evaluates hospital performance strictly on objective clinical outcomes, risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates, across more than 30 common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide.

The impact of choosing a high-performing hospital is significant. Healthgrades' 2027 analysis revealed that if all hospitals performed at the level of five-star rated facilities during the 2023–2025 study period, 227,229 lives could have been saved and 158,138 complications could have been avoided.*

"Finding a hospital that excels in a given procedure or treatment can transform a patient's health trajectory," said Alana Biggers, MD, MPH, medical advisor at Healthgrades. "We're proud to recognize Mount Sinai Medical Center for its top-tier performance in cardiac, pulmonary, stroke and gastrointestinal surgery, and commend its team for delivering exceptional patient outcomes when it matters most."
