It's sometimes hard to believe that a circus man, in essence, built this city. Back in the early 1900's Circus Master John Ringling was among the first to discover the cultural sophistication that Sarasota offers.

Downtown Sarasota thrives in the afterglow of Ringling’s love for things artistic. The Theater and Arts District encompasses theaters from experimental to opera. Art galleries are rife, and trendy restaurants give the town a reputation for fine and innovative dining. Historic and artistic pockets of antiquing, gallery hopping and cafes crop up at Herald Square and Southside districts. Towles Court Artist Colony revitalized a bungalow neighborhood with sprightly paint jobs, galleries, studios, eateries and other artistic outlets. Circus Sarasota keeps alive the Big Top tradition and the high schools even teach circus skills and stage annual circus events. Fun seems like a natural fit for travel nurses, they already have a sense of adventure under their belt, maybe that’s why more and more are looking for assignments in this lively city.

Not quite as lively as the town itself but equally welcoming is Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Sarasota Memorial, an 828-bed regional medical center, is the second-largest acute care public hospital in Florida and a Cross Country exclusive travel nursing facility. With about 3,000 staff members and more than 1,000 volunteers, it is Sarasota County’s third-largest employer.

A community hospital, Sarasota Memorial is governed by the nine-member elected Sarasota County Public Hospital Board. It is a full-service facility, with specialized expertise in heart, cancer and neuroscience services and a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, outpatient services, home health and long-term care among its many programs. It is the only provider of obstetrical and inpatient pediatric services in Sarasota County, as well as being affiliated with All Children’s Hospital. The hospital, founded in 1925, is among the top providers in the United States in the number of open-heart surgeries performed annually. One of the first non-academic hospitals in the nation to develop a clinical research service, the hospital is conducting clinical research studies in Lung Disease, Cardiac Surgery, Cardiology, Vascular Surgery, Geriatric Medicine and many other specialty areas.
