CMS Compare 5-Star Rating

EvergreenHealth Medical Center earned a 5-star rating in the 2024 Hospital Compare overall quality systems rankings conducted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for the ninth consecutive year.

EvergreenHealth was one of just 381 hospitals nationwide–and just seven in the Seattle area–to receive the 5-star designation. 

Achieving a 5-star rating represents EvergreenHealth's high scores across a range of quality measures.

CMS' Hospital Compare reviewed 4,658 hospitals nationwide on five criteria:

• Mortality
• Safety of care
• Readmission rates
• Patient experience
• Timeliness of care

The overall hospital rating ranges from 1-5 stars, with more stars reflecting higher performance.
