Sharon Hospital maintains five-star rating from CMS

SHARON — The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has given Sharon Hospital a five-star rating for the fifth consecutive year.

In 2024, Sharon Hospital was the sole facility in Connecticut to receive the top rank by CMS. Last year there were two other five-star hospitals in the state, but Stamford Hospital and Greenwich Hospital Association were each given four stars this year.

CMS rates Medicare-certified hospitals from one to five stars based on quality ratings and consumer satisfaction. A variety of data contributes to the score such as patient safety, satisfaction, effectiveness of care, readmissions and mortality.

More than 3,000 hospitals were evaluated and 381 received the top rank. Sharon Hospital has maintained the five-star rating since 2020.

“Our fifth consecutive five-star rating is a testament to the commitment of our inspiring healthcare professionals who share in our culture of excellence,” Sharon Hospital President Christina McCulloch stated in a press release.

Sharon Hospital is part of the Nuvance Health network.
