The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced its findings for 2026, and Providence St. Patrick Hospital received a 5-Star rating, the highest award, for the 10th consecutive year, from 2017 -2026.

With this 5-Star rating patients can:
- Use the rating as an objective, reliable tool to compare St. Pat’s clinical outcomes and safety records against regional and national averages.
- Know that St. Pat’s demonstrates superior performance in avoiding complications, minimizing hospital readmissions, and delivering a positive, comfortable patient environment.
