JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Mayo Clinic is again ranked the No. 1 hospital in the Jacksonville metro area and Florida in U.S. News & World Report's "Best Hospitals" rankings, which were published on Tuesday, July 26, on the U.S. News & World Report website.

"It is an honor to be recognized as the No. 1 hospital in the state of Florida," says Kent Thielen, M.D., CEO of Mayo Clinic in Florida. "We are truly grateful to our extraordinary teams for continuously putting the needs of our patients first while providing the highest quality of care."

In 1986, Mayo Clinic brought its team approach to caring from Rochester, Minnesota, to the Southeast when it opened a clinic in Jacksonville. Today, the nearly 400-acre campus offers a medical destination for patients from all 50 states and 140 countries.

Mayo Clinic's commitment to quality and collaboration dates back more than 150 years, when the Mayo brothers invented the team-based approach to medicine ― an approach that is continuously refined over time. Then and now, Mayo Clinic's world-class experts work closely across specialties to provide comprehensive and coordinated care for patients with the most serious and complex conditions.
