Why This Rating Matters
The SafeHospitals USA Safety Score is calculated using official CMS Medicare data — the same data used by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to evaluate all Medicare-certified hospitals. A score of 6.2/10 (Grade C) means this hospital performs near the national average on most safety measures. For patients and families planning an elective procedure or evaluating local options for ongoing care, this data provides an objective, evidence-based starting point for informed decision-making.
Always discuss your specific medical needs with a licensed healthcare provider. Hospital quality varies by specialty and procedure type — a high overall score does not guarantee optimal results for every condition. Use this data as one input among several, including referrals from your primary care physician and procedure-specific outcome data where available.
