Outstanding Achievement!

Becker’s has compiled a list of the hospitals that patients are most likely to recommend in every state using Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) data from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital - Sulphur Springs is one of only 36 hospitals in the state to be recognized! The Foundation is proud to support our growing local non-profit hospital. The latest addition is the ongoing surgical services expansion. To learn more and be part of this worthwhile project, visit SpreadOurWings.GiveSmart.com. 💜🪽

The recommended hospital star rating is based on patients’ responses to the question, “Would you recommend this hospital to your friends and family?” Hospitals must have at least 100 completed HCAHPS surveys in a four-quarter period to be eligible for a star rating. Learn more about the methodology here: https://data.cms.gov/provider-data/topics/hospitals/hcahps
