U.S. News + World Report Update + Efforts
Voting through Doximity open through the end of March
U.S. News + World Report Update + Efforts
Last year, the UF Health Shands Hospital emerged as Florida’s top health center and one of the nation’s elite today in the U.S. News & World Report’s 2020-21 Best Hospitals survey, with a remarkable nine medical specialties placing in the nation’s Top 50 — more than any other hospital in Florida. Our cancer speciality was one of the nine medical specialties to place in the nation’s Top 50, ranking at 33rd in the nation.
On March 8, the UF Health Cancer Center sent out a nationwide email promoting our accomplishments in an effort to influence our 2021 U.S. News + World Report ranking. Along with our efforts, we need your help to ensure our ranking improves. Please consider voting for our cancer specialty and UF Health Shands Hospitals through Doximity.

Dear colleagues,
We have a critical opportunity to help advance the reputation of UF Health Shands, which was ranked as the No. 1 hospital in Florida by U.S. News & World Report’s 2020-21 Best Hospitals survey because of the high-quality care we deliver and the outstanding reputation we continue to generate. Help us ensure we remain in the top spot and rise in the rankings in even more specialties.
Why does this matter so much? Because reputation awareness bolsters patient choice, provides enhanced opportunities for collaboration with community physicians and supports our recruitment of the best physicians, nurses and experts to help us move medicine forward. At the heart of all these efforts is our commitment to serving our patients and improving lives.
Voting through Doximity for our specialty is open now for all who previously claimed their profile through Doximity.com. All qualifying physicians will receive an invitation email from Doximity with a request to vote. When you do, please take a moment to connect through the link and vote.

If you do not receive an email, you may still be able to go directly to Doximity to vote. Simply go to your Doximity profile page, and the vote button should appear once ballots become available for your specialty.
