Not only are we home to the Mayo Clinic but we have four hospitals that are nationally ranked as award winners. In Jacksonville you will find Baptist Medical Center, Memorial Hospital and St. Vincent's Medical Center. In St. Augustine you will find Flagler Hospital.
Why is this so great? Well out of 5,000 hospitals and 650,000 physicians our hospitals were rated tops. Meaning that you are "27% less likely to die there, and 8% less likely to have a major complication, according to HealthGrades."
