Sharon Hospital awarded five-star rating by CMS for fourth year in a row

SHARON, Conn. — Sharon Hospital has been awarded a five-star rating by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for quality patient care.

The overall rating, between one and five stars, provides consumers with a summary of a hospital’s overall quality performance into a single summary score. Scores are determined from a variety of data reported, including mortality, safety of care, timely and effective care, readmissions, and patient experience. Sharon Hospital is one of three hospitals in Connecticut to earn the five-star rating and one of 483 facilities in the nation to earn the top score.

“Our fourth consecutive five-star rating is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our inspiring healthcare professionals who share in our culture, one dedicated to excellence and the best outcomes for every patient,” said Christina McCulloch, Sharon Hospital president.

Sharon Hospital also has achieved a Get With The Guidelines  Stroke Gold Plus Award. The award reflects its commitment to providing stroke patients with lifesaving care by following nationally recognized, evidence-based guidelines.
