The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded Washington County Hospitals and Clinics a Four-Star Rating. The approach used to determine the CMS star ratings is based on the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems survey. These surveys evaluate a health system on over 50 performance measures, including readmission rates, patient experience, safety, and quality of care.

Out of the 82 critical access hospitals in the state, Washington County Hospitals and Clinics was just one out of ten to be awarded a Four-Star Rating.
