JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville’s Mayo Clinic has been named the No. 1 hospital in Florida in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospitals 2026–2027 rankings.

Mayo Clinic in Florida earned national recognition in eight specialties and ranked No. 1 in Florida in six of them: cardiology, heart and vascular surgery; diabetes and endocrinology; gastroenterology and GI surgery; orthopedics; pulmonology and lung surgery; and urology. It also ranked nationally in geriatrics, neurology, and neurosurgery.
“Mayo Clinic in Florida being ranked No. 1 in the state and named to the U.S. News Honor Roll are extraordinary recognitions for Mayo Clinic in Florida,” said Dr. Kent Thielen, CEO of Mayo Clinic in Florida. “We are grateful to every member of our team whose expertise, collaboration and commitment to our patients made this achievement possible.”
The rankings cap what Mayo Clinic called an extraordinary year for its Florida campus. Newsweek earlier this year again ranked Mayo Clinic in Florida the No. 1 hospital in the Southeast in its “World’s Best Hospitals” list, and in “America’s Best Hospitals for Specialized Care 2026,” ranked it No. 1 in Florida across all seven specialties assessed: cancer, cardiac, endocrine, gastrointestinal, neurological, orthopedic and pulmonary.
