CMS assigned a patient experience star rating to 3,478 hospitals nationally on July 31. Hammond-Henry Hospital was one of 266 hospitals that received five stars, the highest score a hospital can receive. The 266 represent 8% of all hospitals surveyed, with 12 of 266 CMS 5-Star hospitals in Illinois.
