Mount Sinai Medical Center announced today that it is one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for 2026, according to new research released by Healthgrades, the #1 site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital.
This achievement reflects Mount Sinai’s commitment to exceptional patient care and places the organization in the top 2% of hospitals nationwide for overall clinical performance. Mount Sinai also earned America’s 250 Best Hospitals recognition for the seventh year in a row (2020–2026).
In addition to this recognition for overall clinical care, Mount Sinai is the recipient of numerous accolades related to its outstanding performance in key service areas, including stroke and neurosciences, cardiac care, pulmonary care, and gastrointestinal care and surgery. These achievements highlight the organization’s dedication to clinical excellence and place Mount Sinai among the upper echelon of hospitals nationwide.
“This honor reflects the everyday work of extraordinary teams,” said Gino R. Santorio, President and CEO of Mount Sinai Medical Center. “From the ED to the ICU to our specialty programs, our physicians, nurses, and staff are aligned on one standard—exceptional outcomes and compassionate care for the South Florida community.”
Mount Sinai’s achievements are based exclusively on what matters most: patient outcomes. To determine the top hospitals for 2026, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for over 30 conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide. Healthgrades’ annual analysis revealed significant performance gaps between the nation’s highest- and lowest-achieving hospitals, making it increasingly important to seek care at a top-rated facility. In fact, from 2021–2023, patients treated at one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals had a 28.1% lower risk of dying than if they were treated at hospitals that did not receive the award.*
“As one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals, Mount Sinai Medical Center is elevating the standard for quality care nationwide,” said Brad Bowman, MD, chief medical officer and head of data science at Healthgrades. “Healthgrades commends Mount Sinai for their ongoing leadership and commitment to providing the best possible care for all patients in South Florida.”
