This is a testament to the health system’s commitment to providing safe, exceptional, and patient-centered care.

“Thank you to every member of our incredible team,” said Sue Anderson, Regional President of SSM Health in Wisconsin. “We achieve high quality rankings like 4- and 5-star ratings from CMS because of your daily commitment to providing high-quality, patient-centered care to every patient. Because safety and quality care are part of our culture, we are providing the best possible care to the people and communities we serve.”
To determine a star rating, CMS measures hospitals based on sets of quality measures, including mortality, safety of care, readmissions, patient experience, and the timeliness and effectiveness of care.
The CMS 5-Star Quality Rating System serves as a valuable tool to help patients and families compare hospitals and make informed decisions about their health care. Only 384 US Hospitals achieved this status in 2026.
