SARASOTA COUNTY – Four Sarasota area hospitals earned A grades in the latest hospital report cards released by the rating organization the Leapfrog Group Thursday.
Lakewood Ranch Medical Center and Manatee Memorial Hospital both earned B grades. Blake Medical Center earned a C, as did Bayfront Health Port Charlotte and Bayfront Health Punta Gorda in Charlotte County. Hospitals with a consistent pattern of protecting patients from errors, accidents and injuries, like these straight A hospitals, seem to have been more prepared when the pandemic hit, Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group, said in a prepared statement. For many, safety and quality are embedded in their daily work at all levels of the organization, which prepared them in turn to respond to the rapidly evolving pandemic.

1 month ago Share The board voted on several provisions for Verinder s eight-year contract extension, but could not agree on future consulting service stipulations.
The Sarasota County Public Hospital Board on Tuesday with an 8-1 vote approved several provisions of president and CEO David Verinder’s eight-year contract extension, despite some board members concerns that a 10-year total contract would hobble future boards.
Verinder has worked for Sarasota Memorial Hospital for 15 years and has been president and CEO since 2014 after former CEO Gwen MacKenzie stepped down.
The hospital board in December voted 8-1 to extend his current two-year contract another eight years, contingent on details confirmed at Tuesday’s meeting. His contract otherwise would expire Dec. 31, 2022, but now his new term will expire Dec. 31, 2031.
