September 11, 2025- BayCare Health System recently released Vital Impact, its 2024 Physician and Provider Annual Report, highlighting the clinical excellence and commitment that have made it one of the nation’s best-performing health systems. The not-for-profit system, the largest in West Central Florida, delivers roughly one in every three health care services in the region.
Among key milestones, BayCare earned a 4.35 engagement score in its Provider as Customer Survey, placing the system at the 79th percentile nationally. Ten of BayCare’s eligible acute-care hospitals also received an “A” grade from Leapfrog, the national patient safety group. In addition, the system launched BayCare Clinical Institutes to further advance specialized care.
BayCare continues to expand its role as an academic health system. In June, it announced a strategic collaboration with Northwestern Medicine and the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine to strengthen research and education. By 2029, BayCare expects to expand its graduate medical education program to more than 650 residency positions, helping attract and train top physicians.
“Clinical excellence remains our north star,” the report notes, as BayCare continues to combine innovation, compassionate care, and growth to serve patients across West Central Florida.
