Sarasota Memorial Health Care System was recently named among the Top 150 places to work in healthcare by Becker's Healthcare, a leading source of healthcare information through its medical industry trade magazine, “Becker’s Hospital Review.”

The Illinois-based organization supplements its own research with government data and rankings from other organizations such as “U.S. News & World Report,” “Forbes, “Newsweek” and “Fortune.”

SMH was one of several health care systems in Florida listed among the 150 workplaces, along with Advent Health in Altamonte Springs; Halifax Health in Daytona Beach; Jackson Health System in Miami; the University of Miami Health System; Orlando Health; Tampa General Hospital; MobileHelp and Clear Arch Health in Boca Raton.

The Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins Hospital – all of which are based elsewhere but have hospital campuses in Florida – were on the list for the quality of the overall healthcare system.

David Verinder, president and CEO of Sarasota Memorial Health Care System, said the recognition by Becker’s is a testament to the dedication of the system’s 10,000 employees to their patients and their peers.

"The more than 10,000 employees at SMH are the heart and soul of our organization, and this recognition is another testament to their unwavering commitment to their patients and their peers," David Verinder, President and CEO of Sarasota Memorial Health Care System, said in a prepared statement. "Sarasota Memorial's inclusion in this list reaffirms our team’s dedication to maintaining an environment where all employees feel valued, supported and empowered to deliver high-quality care to the community.”

In March, SMH earned a five-star ranking on Newsweek’s 2024 list of “America’s Greatest Workplaces for Women.”

In February, SMH was ranked in the top 20% among Forbes’ best large places to work, while in August, 2023, Forbes ranked SMH among the top four in its “Best in-state employers” list.

On that same list, it was the top employer headquartered in the Sunshine State.

Among the criteria used by Becker’s are workplace environment, employee engagement, and satisfaction.

The Becker's Hospital Review editorial team accepted nominations for this list.
