Memorial Hospital Pembroke, part of the large public, nonprofit Memorial Healthcare System that also serves the wider South Broward area, is rated high performing in diabetes and pneumonia care and has been recognized with several awards in the past two years, including Patient Safety Excellence, Outstanding Patient Experience, Gastrointestinal Care Excellence, Bariatrics, and Emergency Care recognitions, per Healthgrades and U.S. News data gathered this session. U.S. News cites 74%-89% of patients as willing to recommend the hospital, with a patient-experience score of 3 out of 5; on the staffing side, the hospital carries a 4.0-out-of-5 employee rating from over 1,300 reviews.
Crime runs well below both state and national averages
Pembroke Pines earned a citywide 'Very Safe (Grade A)' rating in aggregated 2026 crime analysis, with every neighborhood assessed grading A or A+. Separately, FBI 2024 data put the city's total crime rate at 219.7 per 100,000 residents, versus a national average of 2,752.3 -- ranking Pembroke Pines #1 out of 71 Florida cities compared in that analysis. One safety-percentile reading in the same aggregation cited a 77th-percentile ranking, which sits in some tension with the 'Grade A, #1 in Florida' framing above -- both are reported here rather than picking one, since they likely reflect different comparison sets or methodologies.
Violent and property crime risk, and neighborhood-level variation
Modeled annual risk figures put violent crime at about 1-in-376 (roughly 30% lower than the national average) and property crime at about 1-in-51 (roughly 6% higher than the national average). Residents generally point to the northwest part of the city as safest for property crime specifically, with property-crime-loss odds ranging from about 1-in-158 in the northwest to about 1-in-50 in the east -- a real difference by area, not a single citywide number.
