NCH Maintains 4-Star Rating from CMS

NAPLES, Fla. – July 26, 2023 NCH Healthcare System is happy to announce that it has maintained a 4 out of 5 star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for the fifth year in a row. This recognition underscores NCH’s commitment to delivering exceptional patient care, outstanding clinical outcomes and a patient-centered approach to healthcare.

It evaluates various factors, including patient experience, safety measures, clinical outcomes and adherence to best practices. Securing and maintaining a 4-star rating is no small feat; this achievement reflects NCH’s dedication to providing high-quality care that meets and exceeds national standards. NCH hospitals were ranked 4 stars with CMS last year as well.
