About these rankings

Rankings use the 2026 release of CMS Care Compare data. Hospitals share a rank (“T”) when their values are equal, and only hospitals with a reported value for the sorted measure are ranked. Shading compares each value with every hospital in the country, so it doesn’t change with your filters. Small differences are often not statistically meaningful; use the methodology and glossary for context.

Overall star rating
CMS overall hospital quality star rating (1-5).
Medicare spending per patient
Medicare spending per beneficiary episode relative to the national median (1.0 = national median).
Total beds
Total beds reported to CMS (Provider of Services file).
