Brookings Health System was recently named to Becker’s Hospital Review list of top recommended hospitals in every state.

Becker’s compiled the list of hospitals patients are most likely to recommend using Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and System (HCAHPS) data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Recognized hospitals received a five-star rating from CMS on patients’ responses to the question, “Would you recommend this hospital to your friends and family?” To qualify for a star rating, hospitals needed at least 100 completed HCAHPS surveys.

This summer Brookings Hospital earned an overall five-star rating from CMS on their Care Compare website, the highest score possible for all hospitals nationwide. In addition, this spring Brookings Health System was named a Top 20 Rural Community Hospital for the sixth time by the National Rural Health Association and a World’s Best Hospital by Newsweek and Statista Inc.
