Northern Dutchess Hospital earns highest rating from federal healthcare agency

CMS ratings for quality healthcare

CMS ratings offer the community an overview of healthcare facility performance. Their evaluation measures safety of care, mortality, patient experience, readmission rates and timely and effective care. CMS collaborates with the entire healthcare community to achieve better outcomes in the healthcare system. 

“This remarkable achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and compassion of our physicians and staff, as well as the trust and support of our community,” said Denise George, president of Northern Dutchess Hospital. “Every member of our team pours their heart into their work, always striving to provide exceptional care. Our unique culture, rooted in teamwork and quality, is at the core of everything we do. Earning a five-star rating highlights our commitment to ensuring every patient feels valued and well cared for.”
