“It’s an honor for CMS to have rated Ascension Seton Hays among the highest performing, five-star rated hospitals in the U.S.,” President of Ascension Seton Hays Joan Ross said in a news release. “Our five-star performance on the CMS star ratings is a testament to the commitment of our caregivers and associates who deliver high-quality and compassionate care for the patients and communities we serve every day.” Based on data from 2,847 hospitals, the national average star rating declined from 3.19 stars in 2023 to 3.13 stars in 2024. Ascension hospitals exceeded the national average and improved their average star rating from 3.27 in 2023 to 3.48 in 2024, according to a news release.
