765 hospitals patients would highly recommend

Becker’s Hospital Review – Eighteen more hospitals have a five-star recommendation from patients compared to December 2025.

Becker’s has compiled a list of the hospitals patients would recommend in each state using Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems data from CMS.

CMS created 10 HCAHPS star ratings based on publicly reported HCAHPS measures. The patient recommendation star rating combines data from three HCAHPS survey questions and summarizes if patients would recommend the system to their friends and family. The star rating is based on survey data collected from hospital patients between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. The figures are from CMS’ Provider Data Catalog and were released May 13. 

Last year, 747 hospitals received a five-star rating for patient recommendation.

Here are the 765 hospitals patients would recommend:
