What Patients Say

The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey — the national standard for measuring patient experience — gave Louis Stokes Cleveland Va Medical Center a patient experience rating of 4 out of 5 stars, based on 512 completed surveys. This score reflects how patients rated communication with nurses and doctors, responsiveness of hospital staff, pain management, medication explanations, and discharge preparation.

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 7.2/10 (Grade B) means this hospital performs above the national average on key 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.

💡 Pro Tip: Before visiting any U.S. hospital, bring your insurance card, a government-issued photo ID, a complete list of current medications and dosages, and the contact information for your primary care physician. For planned procedures, request an itemized pre-admission cost estimate — you are legally entitled to one under the CMS Hospital Price Transparency Rule (effective January 2021).
